Laville Haut Brion Blanc 2007 presents a blend of 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc, reflecting the distinctive terroir of Pessac-Léognan. The nose offers defined scents of green apple, pear and subtle herbal notes, leading to a palate characterised by precision and balance. Flavours of lemon zest and white peach emerge, accompanied by a mineral backbone that conveys the site`s limestone soil. The finish is clean and lengthy, showcasing the wine`s age-worthy potential. Produced by the esteemed Château Haut-Brion, one of the oldest classified growths in Bordeaux, Laville Haut Brion exemplifies refined winemaking traditions.

82% Sémillon, 18% Sauvignon Blanc but it tastes much more like a Sauvignon than a Sémillon. Very ripe and ample on the nose. Menthol and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. Very dry finish. Lots of astringency and powerful Sauvignon-like characteristics. Super fresh and vibrant with a only light undertow of lemony weight. Racy rather than fat. Sharp and refreshing. Much more complex and spicy than a regular oaked Sauvignon/Sémillon blend, for example, but not the richest vintage for Laville – a slightly slimline bitter lemon of a wine. Very tight but light too.

Long Lived Reds and Whites
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the preeminent estates in the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated and long-lived wines. The prestigious first label, La Mission Haut-Brion, is a near equal blend of Cabernet and Merlot, giving wonderfully focused wines with bramble and floral character. This illustrious estate also produces a stellar second label, La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion.
Two beautiful whites are made: La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, which is a aromatic, Sémillon-dominant blend with beautiful citrus and stone fruit, and a second white, La Clarté de Haut Brion (which also takes grapes from the Château Haut-Brion estate).
