Château Laville Haut-Brion 2005 (6 BT)

Château Laville Haut-Brion 2005

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Cru Classé

2 very slightly scuffed capsules by case dividers

At the property, they like to say this is the 'Alsace' of their two famous white wines! I can see their point, because of all the lovely mineral elements. With a very high percentage of Sémillon this year, this is sleek, pale and beautiful, with that tell-tale grapefruit nose and stunning limey, gingery taste. Silky and crisp at the same time. Perfect sashimi wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

此酒常被該酒莊的人喻為旗下兩款著名白酒中具「阿爾薩斯」(Alsace)風格的佳釀！這大概是因為那股怡人的礦物味吧。這個年份採用的賽美蓉(Sémillon)葡萄成份特高，締造出輕淡亮麗的風格，且明顯的柚子芳香及青檸和生薑般的美味。柔滑如絲的同時，又有爽勁，此佳釀與日本魚生堪稱絕配。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）

Provenance

A small part of a much larger collection, this has been assembled meticulously for over 20 years. Many were purchased from Sotheby’s, including single-owner sales such as “Direct from the Cellars of Paul Jaboulet Aine” in 2012; “Wines from the Cellar of The Fux Restaurant” in 2017 and “The Tran-scend-ent Sale” in 2019. Others were mainly purchased on release from reputable UK wine merchants. All wines were professionally stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar before the sale.
