Les Demoiselles de Larrivet Haut-Brion: Pessac-Léognan's Elegant Second Wine

Named in honour of the owner's daughters, Les Demoiselles is the superb Second Wine of the famed Château Larrivet Haut-Brion. It stands as an exceptional example of a Pessac-Léognan red, offering the classic structure and complexity of the appellation but with a more approachable, youthful charm than the Grand Vin.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A deep, lustrous garnet-red.
• Bouquet: An intense and inviting nose of concentrated black fruits (cassis liqueur, ripe blackberry), with elegant undertones of cedar, fresh tobacco, and a delicate minty freshness.
• Palate: Silky on entry, the wine delivers an opulent and fleshy mid-palate. It is well-structured with supple, polished tannins, leading to rich, dark fruit and a hint of sweet spice.
• Finish: Persistent and refined, marked by the distinctive, subtle salinity typical of the Graves gravel soils.

Serving Suggestions

A wine of this calibre demands a gastronomic pairing. Serve at 16°C-18°C, ensuring the bottle is opened or decanted an hour beforehand to allow the aromas to fully express themselves.
