La Clarté de Haut-Brion 2022 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is aromatic and chiseled with freshness. It reveals notes of pulpy green apple, bright vine peach and small notes of small fresh exotic fruits, associated with a touch of quenette, lychee as well as a fine hint, of almost sweet pineapple. The palate is well-built, supple, fresh, elegant, racy, nicely defined, with gourmandise, unctuosity and a lovely, elegant, coating fatness. It expresses notes of bright pear, brilliant peach and small notes of small bright fruits, associated with touches of ripe citrus, ripe lemon as well as a hint of quenette, peach blossom, a subtle hint of almost acacia and verbena and a discreet hint of zest. Good length, almost a discreet tannic side in the background. Nicely fresh, juicy and mineral wine. Good persistence.
