Despite of Haut- Brion (rare & expensive), my preferences of Pessac-Leognan White are Pape Clement, Domaine de Chevalier, Smith-Haut-Lafitte & Carbonnieux.

This one of the finest Bordeaux dry white wine is in bright, light yellow color. Displays honey & floral notes. Crisp acidity, as usual combined with mineral, citrus & honeydew melon. Polished smooth and creamy texture leads to an extreme balanced finish, delicious. The wine is still young. It will further develop under good condition of cellaring. Now to 2016.
