Cellar Tracker January - 2022

Dark and earthy aromas with coke, minerals and something green and medicinal. Quite skinny and light weighted on the palate, but the concentration and persistence is there. Impressive for this vintage.

SoDivin November - 2012

This wine made us a little apprehensive as the vintage is difficult. Indeed, on opening, it appears quite thin. The alcohol and acidity dominate. Lacks richness and body. The wine is not unpleasant but it is rather "light". We rate it 80, no more. And yet, as the tasting progresses, as the bottle empties, the wine improves. The smoky nose of the Château reveals itself, the body develops, the roundness too. This wine becomes very good, balanced, full, generous. As often with old wines, the second half of the bottle is much more interesting. The rating goes from 80 to 89/100.

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.
