LA CHAPELLE de la MISSION HAUT BRION
Pessac-Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
La Mission Haut Brion
The top wine currently sells for £180 a bottle! So this is real value.

RP - The beautiful second wine, the 2012 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion, has a dense ruby/purple colour, sweet raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, subtle earth and spice, supple tannins and an opulent fleshy mouthfeel. It is a terrific second wine and outstanding in its own right.

DOMAINE de CHEVALIER
Pessac-Leognan

RP - Very floral and elegant with raspberry and blackcurrant fruit mixed with toasty oak/vanillin, followed by a medium to full-bodied, stylish, polished wine that is the quintessentially refined style of Pessac-Léognan. Nevertheless, the complexity and nuance has yet to fully emerge. This medium to full-bodied Domaine de Chevalier is poised for a bright future. It is tight and backward now, as well as restrained aromatically, but everything is there for the future.

HAUT BERGEY
Pessac-Leognan

RP - From Helene Garcin, this blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot displays classic tobacco leaf and smoky barbecue notes along with rich black currants and crushed rocks in a medium to full-bodied, seductive, attractively up-front style. Some Asian plum sauce is also noticeable in this complex, evolved and delicious wine, which can be drunk over the next 10-15 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage.

LE PETIT HAUT LAFITTE
Pessac-Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
Smith Haut Lafitte
The top wine currently sells for £84 a bottle! So this is real value.

RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot coming from the younger vines of Smith Haut Lafitte, the 2015 Le Petit Haut Lafitte sports a medium garnet-purple colour and an alluring crushed red currants, black cherries and spice box-laced nose with touches of cloves and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with wonderful generosity and plenty of spice, the open-for-business flavours are well-supported by plush tannins, and it finishes with a peppery lift.
