Classified Chateau of

Pessac Commune
{Graves}

(2)

A

Red Only

  • *Haut Brion**
  • (second wine Le Clarte de Haut Brion)*
  • *Pape Clement**
  • (second wine Le Clementine)*

Notes:

  • Pessac-Leognan was introduced as an AOP in 1987
  • it covers the 10 best communes in Graves.
  • Producers can use Carmenere here.
  • You will pay a premium for proucers of the Pessac commune of this appellation.
  • Best of the Graves Cru Classes are here.

Makes sense:

1) because Pessac is the main name, so the most important chateaux are here
2) it is in the north - where the best dry wines are
