Pessac-Léognan lies just south of Bordeaux city and brings together history, innovation, and exceptional terroir. Though the appellation was officially created in 1987, it includes some of the region’s most iconic estates, including Château Haut-Brion—one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most celebrated.

The soils here are deep gravel mixed with sand and clay, ideal for both red and white varieties. Reds typically blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering dark berry fruit, graphite, and subtle spice. Whites, based on Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, show citrus, stone fruit, and a textured, mineral finish—often enhanced by oak and time on lees.

Pessac-Léognan wines are known for their balance and ageing potential, offering a polished expression of the Graves’ character.
