Château Laville Haut-Brion 2008
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Cru Classé
Purchased from Sotheby's Domaine Clarence Dillon auction on 4 October 2013 in Hong Kong

79% Sémillon, 21% Sauvignon Blanc. In 2013, that great grapefruit nose at which Laville excels. There is a lovely fragrance and lightness of touch, with hints of lemon and hay too. Beautiful citron pressé taste. Elegance of the year. Such tempting, even appley, freshness. And stunning mineral notes to finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
