Le Colombier De Brown Pessac-Leognan Blanc 2023

The château’s second wine, “Le Colombier de Brown” refers to the historic 18th-century building that still stands on the estate. Made with the same meticulous attention to detail as the Grand Vin, its character is more fruity and supple. A beautiful expression of gourmandise that makes it immediately accessible in its youth.
