2022 Berry Bros. & Rudd Pessac-Léognan by Château Haut-Bailly, Bordeaux

Pessac-Léognan is one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellations, celebrated for the quality of both its red and white wines. It sits in the northern tip of the wider Graves region, just south of the city of Bordeaux. As in the Médoc, the red wines here are produced mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The best wines here are as characterful and long-lived as any produced in Bordeaux. Our Pessac-Léognan is made for us by our friends at Château Haut-Bailly, which has been recognised for centuries as among Bordeaux’s greatest estates. The wine pairs wonderfully with meat, game or rich mushroom dishes.

Tasting Note

We’ve partnered once again with Château Haut-Bailly for our delicious 2022 Pessac-Léognan. Made from the estate’s younger vines, the blend is based on Cabernet Sauvignon (45%) and Merlot (35%), alongside a notably high proportion of Cabernet Franc (18%) and a dash of Petit Verdot (2%). The nose is gently floral, with swirling red fruits and a hint of sweet spice. The palate is rich and textured, combining dark and hedgerow fruits with a bright, red-berry crunch and a refreshing burst of acidity.
