Wine 2009 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pessac Leognan

The 2009 vintage is a landmark year, with endless sunshine. Château Haut Brion 2009 is a very great wine that deserves all the attention. Quite similar to the style of the 2005 vintage and the 1989 vintage, with its tannins and concentration.

Falstaff February - 2020
Falstaff
Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle rim lightening. Fine black nougat, ripe black cherries, tobacco, a hint of licorice, candied violet and blackcurrant in the background, fine noble wood notes, multi-faceted bouquet. Complex sweetness, dense, fine extract, powerful and ripe tannins, pleasant acidity, appears very fresh, mineral and taut, very long, a hint of dark chocolate on the finish, lingers for minutes, a Vin de Garde that should age for another ten years. So: give up and wait another two or three years!

Not a lot of wines leave me speechless from start to finish. But this wine did! Still deep, dark, almost inky in color, the wine offers off the hook aromas of smoked truffle, cigar box, tobacco, black and dark red fruit with spice box, tobacco leaf and smoke filled nuances. Deep, rich, full-bodied and with this incredible blend of elegance, power and sensuality, this wine is going to age for decades. The wine was made from blending This 46% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 14% Cabernet Franc.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
 The 2009 Haut-Brion is deep garnet colored and slightly closed and shy to begin, slowly unfurling to reveal sensuous notions of warm blackberries, plum preserves, mulberries and blackcurrant cordial with touches of star anise, mocha and damp soil. Full-bodied, taut and tightly wound in the mouth, the palate delivers mouth-coating black fruit and mineral layers with a very firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and earthy. This needs time!

 This intense, complex wine is majestic and incredibly rich. Despite the density, fresh fruit flavours are abundant and impressive. The wine has achieved a perfect balance between richness, depth and elegance. The finish is long and the wine expresses classic Haut Brion characters of cedarbox, spices, blackberries and aged tea leaves. This will no doubt be among the legendary vintages made by the chateau; a classic and long finish.

Château Haut Brion
Château Haut Brion

Château Haut-Brion is one of the most iconic wines of Bordeaux. In 1855, it received the supreme distinction of Premier Cru Classé, an exceptional recognition as it is the only non-Médoc estate to feature in the classification of the wines of the Médoc, while also being classified as a Cru Classé de Graves. It is today an absolute reference of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

Its terroir, close to that of Château Latour, lends the wines of Haut-Brion a unique nobility. Without seeking extreme power, the wine stands out for its elegance, the finesse of its tannins and a remarkable aging potential, often considered one of the greatest in Bordeaux.

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest, and also the smallest in surface area, of the Bordeaux Premiers Grands Crus Classés, alongside Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux and Château Mouton Rothschild. While the presence of the vine 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 played a part 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 United States Secretary of the Treasury, further adding to its prestige.

The first of the great classified growths to vinify in stainless steel vats, from 1961, the estate ages its red wines for up to twenty-four months in barrels produced largely by its own cooperage. Its great vintages mark the history of Bordeaux, from the 1931 wine and the post-war 1949 vintage to the modern benchmarks of the 1982 wine, the 1988 and the 1990 vintage, not forgetting the second wine Bahans Haut Brion, which has since become Le Clarence de Haut-Brion.
