Wine 1992 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pessac Leognan

This year, the summer was very wet which led to a rather worrying state of health. Then during the harvest, the weather alternated between rainy and dry days. Fortunately, thanks to the meticulous work of the winegrowers and winemakers, the wines were saved from bad weather.
Château Haut Brion 1992 is characterized by a lot of fruit and a beautiful typicality. This Premier Cru Classé has a good tannic concentration, it will be very pleasant to drink in a few years.

Forty percent of the 1992 harvest was eliminated from Haut-Brion's final blend. The result is a stylish yet authoritatively flavored wine that reminds me of a slightly down-sized version of the superb 1985. A beautiful deep ruby color is followed by a penetrating bouquet of black fruits, smoke, and minerals. Fine ripeness and outstanding richness allied to medium body, an elegant personality, and a supple, moderately tannic finish suggest this wine will be mature in 4-5 years and last for 15-20. A terrific success in 1992!

Château Haut Brion

Château Haut-Brion is one of the most emblematic 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 appear in the classification of Médoc wines, while also being classified as Cru Classé de Graves. It is today an absolute reference for the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

Its terroir, close to that of Château Latour, gives the wines of Haut-Brion a unique nobility. Without seeking extreme power, the wine is distinguished by 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 area, of the Bordeaux Premiers Grands Crus Classés, 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 contributed to 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.

Among the most emblematic 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.
