Cellar Tracker February - 2021

Maybe edging just past its peak, but this was still a tremendously enjoyable wine - one of the best few bottles on the night actually. The nose was delightful and very Haut Brion, with lovely drifts of tobacco spice swirling around a core of plums and cassis, loamy earth and fragrant herb. Very pretty. The palate was perfectly soft and silky, with the tannins completely resolved, and gentle acidity just tracing its way through lovely notes of cassis and plums laced with loamy notes forest floor and lovely blush of cigarette and tobacco spice - all trailing away into an oh-so elegant finish. Absolutely delightful. Not a wine of strength and weight, and perhaps lacking some of the voluptuousness of a great Haut-Brion, but this was such an elegant charmer.

Château Haut Brion

Château Haut-Brion is one of the most iconic wines of Bordeaux. In 1855, it received the supreme distinction of First Growth, an exceptional recognition as it is the only non-Médoc estate to appear in the classification of Médoc wines, while also being classified as Graves Classified Growth. Today it is an absolute reference of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

Its terroir, similar to that of Château Latour, gives Haut-Brion wines a unique nobility. Without seeking extreme power, the wine distinguishes itself through its elegance, the finesse of its tannins and a remarkable aging capacity, often considered one of the greatest in Bordeaux.

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest, and also the smallest in surface area, of the Bordeaux First Growths, alongside Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Mouton Rothschild. While the presence of vines in the region dates back to Roman times, the first written mention of the vineyard dates from 1423. The estate was founded in 1525 by Jean de Pontac and quickly gained international renown. Its reputation was such that it participated in the very birth of the notion of Grand Cru, mentioned as early as 1663 by Samuel Pepys in his famous diary. More recently, the estate belonged to Clarence Douglas Dillon, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, further contributing to its prestige.

Among the most iconic vintages of Château Haut-Brion are: Château Haut-Brion 1928, Château Haut-Brion 1945, Château Haut-Brion 1953, Château Haut-Brion 1959, Château Haut-Brion 1961, Château Haut-Brion 1982, Château Haut-Brion 1990, Château Haut-Brion 1995 and Château Haut-Brion 2000.
