Our third wine, known as “Pessac-Léognan” since 1987, is renamed from the 2018 vintage after 30 years of success. The initials of the estate are highlighted on a more concise label. HB comes from the estate’s youngest vines. After a short ageing period in barrels, which gives it its structure and suppleness, this wine should be drunk sooner than its predecessors
