Description
From vineyards near the commune of Arsac, this is the second wine from Château Haut-Breton Larigaudière. It’s a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot, aged for 12 months in oak. Generous and brambly, the nose offers mellow cedar and spiced oak, while the palate is rich and full, with notes of plum and gentle herbal hints. Supple tannins give it balance and make it approachable. A good example of the Margaux appellation, it brings together depth, elegance, and an easy-going charm.
