Pessac Leognan

South of the city of Bordeaux, the region of Graves runs along the western bank of the Garonne River, through some of Bordeaux's most famous vineyards. The wines of Graves range from the esteemed red blends and powerful crisp whites of Pessac-Leognan to the unctuous celebrated sweet wines of Sauternes. The birthplace of Bordeaux's fine red wines, Graves comes with a reputation stretching back as far as the 13th century. The Graves AOC title can be used for both red and white wines while Graves Superieurs, Cerons, Barsac and Sauternes are all appellations that specialise in sweet wines. Defying its long history, Pessac-Leognan was only split out and given its individual appellation title in 1987, due to the consistently high quality of its wines. Its red wines, including those of first growth Chateau Haut-Brion, are some of the most highly prized in Bordeaux, while the white wines, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon can be aged for many years and are complex, flavoursome and delicious.

  3. Rich, powerful red
    Château Malartic-Lagravière is our hidden gem of Graves (Pessac-Léognan) where Jean-Jacques and Severine Bonnie tend to 47-hectares of vines on a fine gravel ridge and now almost encroached on by the suburban outgrowth of Léognan. Great value, mature Claret.... Read more

  4. Rich, powerful red
    The 2019 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc has a perfumed bouquet with citrus lemon, red apples, yellow plum and jasmine bursting from the glass. The oak here is wonderfully assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with a perfect bead of acidity. It is not the most complex white Smith Haut Lafitte that I have tasted, yet it is full of te... Read more

  5. Rich, powerful red
    There is no denying that Château Smith Haut Lafitte is one of Pessac-Léognan`s finest estates, one that I often refer to as the Pichon Lalande of the appellation as it`s close to the First Growth quality of Château Haut Brion thanks to its impressive structure, elegance and purity... these same characteristics can be found in...

  7. Medium, luscious red
    This starts off well, with firm but expressive black fruits on the attack, retaining a silky texture through the little dip on the mid-palate, and the tannins tighten on the final furlong. Its expressiveness becomes more obvious with 10 minutes in the glass. This is enjoyable, but below the quality of the past two years. Drink 2... Read more

  8. Rich, powerful red
    Savory aromas of black olive, dried mushroom, iodine and earth, as well as wild blackberry and clove. It’s medium-bodied with firm, sleek tannins and fresh acidity. Bitter berry notes on the finish. Hint of jam, but turns firm. Better in 2023. James Suckling... Read more
