{"title":"Graves — Cru Classé (Rouge)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1959 Graves classification is the only Bordeaux ranking that classifies red and white wine separately, and the only one with a single tier: a château is Cru Classé or it is not. Sixteen estates hold it, all of them now within Pessac-Léognan, and each is classified for red, for white, or for both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection holds the classified reds — Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blends grown on the deep gravel outcrops just south of the city of Bordeaux, where the soils drain hard and the wines carry the smoky, warm-gravel character the appellation is known for. Château La Mission Haut-Brion and Château Olivier are among those listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike the 1855 Médoc classification, the Graves list has never been revised since it was drawn up.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-mission-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-rouge","title":"Château La Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Rouge","description":"Château La Mission Haut-Brion is classified among the Crus Classés in the 1953 Graves classification. Located in Pessac-Léognan across roughly 21 hectares of notably stony soil, and now part of Domaine Clarence Dillon alongside its sister property Château Haut-Brion, the estate blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux combined ripeness with structure and freshness. Expect a powerful, layered red with dark fruit, graphite, tobacco and cedar notes, firm tannin and considerable ageing potential. It pairs with roast lamb, aged beef or game.\n\u003cdiv class=\"fiche-enrichie\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"fiche-caracteristiques\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePESSAC LEOGNAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLA MISSION HAUT BRION\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBordeaux, Graves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fiche-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould this wine be decanted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 to 30 minutes of aeration in a decanter is recommended for red wines, especially younger vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can this wine be cellared?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine has an estimated cellaring potential of 15 to 40 years under good storage conditions (cellar at a stable 12-14 °C).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat food pairs well with this wine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pairs particularly well with: roast lamb, aged beef, game.
