Château Haut Brion Blanc 2006 Pessac-Léognan (Graves)1 scuffed and 2 slightly damp stained labels56% Sauvignon Blanc, 44% Sémillon. 9 months in 45% new oak. Marvellously subtle fragrance of honeysuckle and acacia. Class and breed too. Heavenly silkiness, with beautifully integrated vanilla and lots of nutmeg and gingerbread, plus a delectable honied sweetness. This is so fine-tuned and 'civilised'. A celestial joy to drink in 2013 and, no doubt, for many years to come. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 956 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
