Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc 1985 Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc 1985 Pessac-Leognan (Graves) Lot 6358: u. 3x3cm, 1x3.5cm, labels slightly soiled and very slightly faded Lot 6359: u. 6x3cm, 2x3.5cm, labels very lightly soiled and fading but good for age This had an incredible grapefruit nose and then, with air, gingerbread. Cloves, lemons, lanolin smooth. Vanillin silk. Absolutely irresistible. In 2012, it slipped down a treat, gentle and alluring. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 6359 11 bts (cn) per lot: HKD 44000-65000 per lot: USD 6000-9000 I am passionate about top white Graves and Haut-Brion Blanc and Laville Haut-Brion represent the pinnacle of the genre. These are phenomenally fascinating wines, unlike anything else in the vinous world and totally individual. The magic mixture of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is utterly intriguing, a million miles from Chardonnay although, perhaps unexpectedly, these wines have the weight and the vinosity of Montrachet. However, that is the only area where the wines meet! The signature mineral and citrus, floral and peach, wax and petrol scents and flavours of Haut-Brion Blanc and Laville Haut-Brion are paradise for addicts like me. I will happily sip them on their own, but they are formidable with sashimi. Both Haut-Brion Blanc and Laville Haut-Brion age with the utmost style and distinction. Well, in principle they do, although they never seem to last the course in our cellar. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
