Tasting notes

Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion 2003 is a sublime expression from the prestigious Château Haut-Brion. This white wine, exclusively crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, hails from the renowned Bordeaux region. The 2003 vintage, known for its heat, has contributed to the wine's enduring strength and richness, even as it matures.

In volume 19, this wine makes its appearance when Sarah presents it to Shizuku in a blind tasting. The scene captures a serene landscape of cosmos flowers gently swaying under the soft autumn sunlight, embodying the wine's graceful and gentle character.

Pour a glass, and you'll notice its beautiful golden hue, a testament to its age and maturity. The aroma opens with ripe pear and hints of tropical pineapple, layered with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey. On the palate, the wine is rich in fruit flavors, with a round and mellow acidity. The finish is moderately long, leaving a delicate floral note that lingers pleasantly.

This wine is perfect for a cool autumn evening. Serve it around 8–10°C to fully appreciate its charm.
