2017 La Clarté de Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac-Léognan

2017 La Clarté de Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac-Léognan

Quite reserved and closed at the moment, nice texture and intensity, finely judged and good purity. It's pretty tropical - but early picked mangoes and pineapples. And good energy. Fine and well judged.

Tasting notes

That lovely mealy spice of restrained but top-class oak. Zest and orange pith. Bright citrus. Deep, crisp and a little creamy. Deep and long.

This shows beautiful density and layers for a baby white with cooked apples, pears and hints of yogurt. Full-bodied, fresh and bright.
