Yesterday saw the release of all the Haut-Brion wines. We are still purchasing Haut-Brion, Haut-Brion Blanc and Laville Haut-Brion; we hope to offer these wines next week. The second vintage of Clarence Haut-Brion is now available at £430 per case. This is now a very smart second wine, bottled as it is in the same shape bottle as the Grand Vin. La Mission Haut-Brion is also available at £1325 per case. This is a wine that is frequently the equal or in some cases superior to Haut-Brion. The 2008 is exceptionally suave, yet powerful. A very complete La Mission. And for those of us who can only dream about Haut-Brion Blanc, we have Plantiers du Haut-Brion. Taken from the young vines from both the Haut-Brion Blanc and Laville Haut-Brion vineyards, this is a great value option for lovers of white Pessac-Leognan. | ||
