Wine description | The colour is very deep, almost purple. Very fresh nose with lots of aromatic purity, oak is present on the nose but it is well integrated in the fruit. On the palate the wine is very constructed with a more modern smoothness and sensuality. Plenty of volume on the mid-palate with tight-knit but very ripe tannins. |

Blended from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Pessac-Léognan wines are beautifully balanced with fine-grained structured tannins, and exhibit classic notes of tobacco, cassis, dark cherry, leather and tar, as well as a distinctive minerality.
Some of the best wines are described as smoky and have hints of truffle.
