CHÂTEAU HAUT BRION 2001

Wine 2001 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pessac Leognan

The climatic conditions are quite similar to those of 2000. Indeed, at the beginning of the harvest, the maturity was perfect and the climate very hot and dry.
Very nice color for the vintage. Château Haut Brion 2001 is an aromatically balanced wine. The oak does not dominate in this young wine. The attack is soft, unctuous. The aromatic balance of this first classified growth joins in the mouth that of the very melted tannins.

Maturity : 2010 - 2035

Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 10-Year On horizontal. This has a very elegant bouquet with blackberry, briary, potter’s kiln and bacon fat with fine delineation and lift. The palate is medium-bodied with great freshness on the entry, very good acidity with red-berried fruit interlaced with cedar, graphite and leather. Very good depth, very feminine and focused with ample freshness on the finish that seems to have “filled out” in recent years. Excellent.

A very youthful Haut Brion that has yet to unveil its full complexity and depth of flavors. The potential is mostly found in the long finish, tightly wound flavors and beautifully textured, ripe, velvety tannins.

Slightly darker colour. Thicker, denser and sweeter than the La Mission on the nose but much tighter and more tannic on the palate. Chewy and clearly set for great things.

 Intense aromas of violets, berries and spices follow through to a full-bodied palate, with layers of supersilky tannins and a long, long finish. Very classic in style. All in elegance and length. I like it better than the 2000.

Here, the aromatic signature, particularly smoky, is even more precise than at Malartic. The major change concerns the depth of the aromas and the texture of the tannins. The latter are more refined, more ethereal, while being slightly more present. Therein lies the paradox. This is a complex, subtle, delicious, melting wine, with flavor and power in the finish. Its personality is unique. Despite its qualities, the idea that the body could be superior crossed my mind: this explains a rating of a very good level, but not exceptional. Equal rating whether decanted or not.

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 First Growth, an exceptional recognition as it is the only non-Médoc estate to appear in the classification of Médoc wines, while also being classified as Graves Classified Growth. Today it is an absolute reference of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

Its terroir, similar to that of Château Latour, gives Haut-Brion wines a unique nobility. Without seeking extreme power, the wine distinguishes itself through its elegance, the finesse of its tannins and a remarkable aging capacity, often considered one of the greatest in Bordeaux.

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest, and also the smallest in surface area, of the Bordeaux First Growths, 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 participated 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 U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, further contributing to its prestige.

Among the most iconic 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.
