An intense, garnet color and loads of tobacco in the nose before the bouquet opens its peacock tail of aromas with licorice, porcini mushroom and bark in abundance. The mouthfeel has a frightening tension and is very fresh, upright and austere. A formidable wine.

Still drinking ok with notes of dried red fruits, spices, toast and charr wood. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is fine.

A real surprise. Typical minerally nose with the Merlot really showing through. Quite sweet an intense. Fine ripeness on the palate, open-knit with a touch of volatility. Spicy exotic finish. Much better than expected and a success.

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.
