Purchase AOC Pessac-Léognan wines

The AOC Pessac-Léognan has only existed since 1987. Previously, the wines produced in this magnificent area located south of Bordeaux bore the Graves appellation. However, it is a remarkable wine-growing area with a very ancient history. As proof: the classification of Château Haut-Brion as a Grand Cru Classé in the famous 1855 classification. It is still today the only property outside Médoc to be present in the famous classification. Spanning nearly 2,000 hectares, the appellation produces 85% red wines and 15% white wines, all dry. The terroir is composed of pebbles, gravel, stones as well as sands and clays.The predominant grape varieties are in red the Merlot (52%) and the Cabernet Sauvignon (42%) and the Sauvignon Blanc (78%) as well as the Sémillon (21%) in white. The wines produced here offer a character marked by a beautiful gourmandise as well as a fleshy texture balanced by fine tannins. The whites, on the other hand, offer creaminess and freshness.
