This Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée is located in the Graves area of the Bordeaux wine region and is known for both red and white wines. White wines from this appellation use Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon grapes in a blend to create young, nectarine-flavoured wines that age to exhibit flavours of honey, custard, and nuts. Pessac Leognan white wines typically pair well with shellfish and seafood such as salmon and trout.
