@Peter van den Besselaar, is this a special cuvée/bottling of this wine?

@Doug Powers No. The pilanthropist Osiris gifted the chateau to the French state in 1907. It has been a viticulture school ever since.

Château de Fieuzal

Pessac-Léognan Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2007

Deep golden colour.
Beautiful mature White Bordeaux. Good complexity in the nose and palate, showing almondpaste, pumpkinpie, tangerine, dried mango, beeswax and hay. Quite rich, but there’s enough acidity and bitterness to balance it all out.

La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Great second wine here. Yes probably too young but with 2 hours in the decanter this was singing. In another couple of years 94. Super wine — 8 months ago

Château Olivier

Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Archetypal Bordeaux - old world in style, but where the savory characteristics are well-integrated with common Bordeaux fruit notes. Well-structured and precise, with notes of blackberry, cassis, tobacco, cedar, and vanilla with a long, somewhat chalky finish. — 6 years ago

Château Pey La Tour

Reserve du Chateau Bordeaux Superieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Sufficiently mature so as not make enemies with any palate (or bffs). Drink it if you got it now. Not much fruit left in the tank. What's left is dark. Deep purple in the glass. Mellow and soft now. Finish on the short side. Still, an enjoyable find. — 9 years ago

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend

Loved my first sip of this. Have in my notes that I liked it less as I kept drinking, but then liked it again at the end. It’s pretty dry and you can taste the yeast. Definitely apple-y , I also get some grapefruit and pineapple. It has a bit of oak and minerality. Feels polished. Nice wine. — 6 months ago

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Grand Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

So underrated and punching way above its weight class. Bit more delicate and pure than your high end Boudreaux. Perfect for seaside dinners. Great vintage too. — 8 months ago

Vibrant color. Wow, it’s like the Little Red Riding-hood porridge of wine. Not too dry, bold, acidic, long, short or tannic. Just right! Absolutely delicious. Would absolutely buy again and one of the best wines I’ve had in a long time. — 9 months ago

Château La Garde

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Solid nose of dark red fruits. Tannic yet silky and long finish. This is an excellent old-world merlot/cabernet blend with finesse. It can stand on its own, or be enjoyed with food as it is a little on the acidic side. — 4 years ago
