Bacchic second discovery of the weekend and a beautiful name not addressed on this blog: Pessac-Leognan. Pessac-Leognan, and reminding its biggest stars: Haut-Brion, Domaine de Chevalier, Pape-Clement, Smith-Haut-Lafitte and .. Carbonnieux. Here, Carbonnieux because the same family who also Le Sartre. I have several Carbonnieux of 2003 in the cellar that have not yet touched. And so it is a good opportunity to approach the "paw Perrin" before opening the classified growths.
A small additional word on the Pessac-Leognan: the production area is favored by a soil extremely rare geological qualities are due to movements of the Garonne there are tens of thousands of years. A micro-climate perfect although the conditions of production of this great land, micro-climate due in part the proximity of a large city.
