La Clarte de Haut Brion 2018
La Clarté de Haut Brion originates from the Pessac Léognan appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. This wine serves as the second white label for two of the world's most prestigious estates, Château Haut Brion and Château La Mission Haut Brion, sharing the same legendary terroir and winemaking expertise. Owned by Domaine Clarence Dillon since 1935, the winery is renowned for its centuries-old tradition and its unique position as the only First Growth estate located outside the Médoc.
Wine Description
This wine presents a beautiful pale yellow colour with occasional green tinges. The aromatic profile is intense and vibrant, leaping from the glass with scents of grapefruit, lemon zest, and key lime pie, complemented by subtle hints of aniseed, white flowers, and a distinct mineral smokiness. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied, balancing a creamy, leesy texture with a lively backbone of acidity and phenolic tension. Flavours of dried apple, peach, and a touch of orange honey lead into a pure, zesty finish.

Food Pairing
The wine's rich texture and bright acidity make it an ideal companion for seafood dishes such as lobster with butter sauce, grilled scallops, or fresh oysters with a lime dressing. It also pairs beautifully with roasted chicken seasoned with herbs or a creamy truffle pasta. For a cheese course, consider soft, creamy selections like Brie or Camembert.
