Supple tannins that are soft, ripe with ripe plum and hint of tobacco. This vintage is seamless and balanced with velvety tannins. Delicious to enjoy now, at its peak with sweet fruit flavors. Keep another 8+ years.

2000 Bahans Haut Brion starts with a smoke, spice, cherry and cassis perfume. This medium bodied, elegantly styled wine is ready to drink and is best enjoyed over the next few years.

Dark and evolved color. Complex nose offering a bouquet with notes of smoked bread and undergrowth. The entry on the palate is beautiful. The wine develops aromatic, flavorful, with body, with smoky nuances in the flavor reminiscent of peated whiskies. After the mid-palate, its tannin firms up

Château Château Haut Brion
Château Haut Brion
Château Haut Brion

It was in 1855 that Château Haut Brion was honored with the highest distinction of Médoc wines: Premier Cru Classé. This title is all the more exceptional as Château Haut Brion is the only non-Médoc estate to be part of the Médoc wine classification, but also of the Graves wine classification as a Cru Classé!

Its terroir is very similar to that of Latour. While not the most concentrated, Haut Brion is the noblest of the great Pessac-Léognan wines and its longevity is unparalleled in this area. The silkiness of its tannins is always exceptional.

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest and yet the smallest in size of the Bordeaux vineyards classified as First Growths (Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Haut-Brion). Although vineyards have been present in the region since at least Roman times, the first mention of the Haut-Brion vineyard dates back only to 1423. In the early days, wines were known by the names of the parishes from which they came. Haut Brion was founded in 1525 by Jean de Pontac and since then, illustrious figures have succeeded one another. The last of these, Clarence Douglas Dillon, was Secretary of the Treasury of the United States under the Kennedy administration. As its reputation grew, the name of the estate came to replace that of its owners. The concept of Grand Cru was born! We find the first mention of it in Samuel Pepys' diary, who wrote on April 10, 1663: "I have just tasted a French wine called Ho-Bryan (sic) which has the best and most special taste I have ever encountered..."

Among the many great vintages of Château Haut Brion, the exceptional vintages are 1926, 1945, 1953, 1959, 1961, 1982, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000.
