Château Haut-Vigneau 2017 Pessac-Léognan - Red wine from Graves
€24,71
Produced from the gravelly Garonne soils of Martillac on a 20-hectare estate, the 2017 Château Haut-Vigneau expresses the assertive character of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. Its blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, vinified in stainless steel tanks after 20 days of maceration, was aged in barrels for 15 to 18 months—time enough to weave together structure and depth. Rated 92-93/100 by James Suckling and 90/100 by Wine Spectator, and distinguished by Bettane & Desseauve, this 13.5% vol. 2017 vintage opens up fully after an hour in a decanter: the patient gesture that precedes great meals.
