Tasted at Roberson’s in London. Like the Petit Mouton ’94, this exceeded my own and most other attendees’ expectations. It has a typically Graves-like bouquet with singed leather, a hint of autumn leaves and melted tar. Certainly aromatically it appears to be fully mature. The palate is medium-bodied, slightly tart acidity, simple but pure with sappy redcurrant, black cherry, gravel and tobacco finish. This is a real surprise, drinking beautifully now.

Glowing ruby. Fully evolved nose – much more so than the Bahans 1996. Sweet and appealing and again with a strong Cabernet Sauvignon element. Finishes dry. Very appetising and savoury. Cries out for food. Milder, less intense than the 1996 but very nicely developed. Hint of curry powder.

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.
