2005 vintage. 85% Sauvignon and 15% Sémillon. White magic. One of the best white Bordeaux, and this bottle surely delivers at 16 years old. Amazingly young. A masterclass in subtlety and balance. Extraordinary depth in a classy understated style. Tremendous length. A true meditation wine.

Absolutely fantastic wine. Barely showing any signs of age but the complex and dynamite aromas sing. This is drinking well but easily has another 15-20 years or more.

Medium lemon yellow . Quite young appearance still quite a bit of oak on the nose , then lemon rind , touch of honey , wax , slightly herbal touch. Intense on the palate with lemon rind , wax and honied notes . Quite rich palate , but with good balancing acidity and grip, balanced alcohol . Medium length , slightly toasty finish . Still young , drinkable now and over the 10 years.

The “assemblage” Sauvignon and sémillon 85/15 is just perfect. Lemon, grapefruit, and exotic fruits are mixed in an amazing and smooth way. Absolutely fabulous, the best white Pessac Léognan, I have ever drink.., just unbelievable. I need to buy more of this 2005! That was my last bottle. Parker: 95

I’ve never had a white this old taste so young. Usually you get that amber color and butterscotch - not this wine. Stone fruit with great balance and acidity. Little bit of almond on the finish. Awesome
