BAHANS HAUT BRION
Pessac Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
Haut-Brion
The top wine currently sells for £770 a bottle!!!
RP - As usual, the 2005 Bahans-Haut-Brion mirrors its bigger brother, but is softer with more forward fruit as well as lighter tannin. Its aromas and flavours are similar to those of Haut-Brion.
It should last a lot longer than its forwardness would suggest (the 1989 is still drinking beautifully), drinking well for 15 or more years.

BAHANS HAUT BRION
Pessac Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
Haut-Brion
The top wine currently sells for £282 a bottle!
RP - Readers looking for the taste of Haut-Brion for about one-third the price should check out the 1998 Bahans-Haut-Brion. It possesses a scorched earth, mineral, smoky, red and black currant-scented bouquet, terrific complexity, purity and elegance, and a harmonious palate. Tannin in the finish suggests 1-2 years of cellaring may be required, but this is a serious effort that should age well for 15+ years.

LA CHAPELLE de la MISSION
Pessac Leognan

2nd Wine of Chateau
La Mission Haut-Brion
The top wine currently sells for £56 a bottle!
RP - The estate’s second wine, the 2001 La Chapelle de la Mission, reveals a plum/ruby colour as well as a rich nose of tobacco smoke, dried herbs, cherries, and black currants. Well-made, medium-bodied, and soft, it is more approachable than its bigger sibling.
