Visit chateaux of Pessac-Léognan

Today, we have another visiting and tasting notes to share with you from the two of my favorite wineries that I've been to last week.




There is a very famous chateau of Grand Cru Classé De Graves in Pessac-Léognan--- Chateau Smith-Haut-Lafite. Pessac-léognan known for its white wine. Today, we have tasted SMITH HAUT-LAFITTE BLANC 2008 (90 % sauvignon blanc / 5 % sauvignon gris / 5 % sémillon). This silky-texture wine has a nose of citrus, sweet melon with a hint of grapefruit, lemon peel and orange peel.






Opposite of it, is the famous hot springs spa Les Sources De Caudalie. Caudalie has been engaged in a special extract of grape seed polyphenols (polyphénols de pépins de raisin) and stable technology patents.




After that we visited the Chteau De Fieuzal, also a Grand Cru Classé De Graves, we visited the clean wine cellar and new investment in the modernization of insulation cask. Finally taste Chateau De Fieuzal 2009 red wine(2,5%Petit verdot, 33%Merlot,60% Cabernet sauvignon, 4,5%Cabernet franc).



After the visiting, I'm psychologically fully content, that's for sure, and now it's time to satisfy my taste buds and stomach. Bon Appétit !
