Description

A First Grand Cru Classé of Pessac-Léognan with an alluring balance and complexity

The estate

The oldest of the Bordeaux First Classified Growths, Château Haut-Brion boasts a rich legacy built over five centuries of history. Founded in 1533 by Jean de Pontac in the Graves region, the wines of Château Haut-Brion were soon coveted and appreciated by the greatest monarchs of Europe. In 1663, Samuel Pepys, a member of the English Parliament, participated - without knowing it - in the success of Château Haut-Brion, by writing in his diary, "And there, I drank a kind of French wine called Ho-Bryan which had a very particular taste, one I’ve never experienced before... ". And the legend was born. The only First Classified Growth of 1855 not situated in the Médoc and also recognised as a Classified Growth in the Official Wine Classification of the Graves in 1959, Château Haut-Brion continues to contribute to the legendary story of Bordeaux fine wines through vintage after vintage of exceptional wines.

The vineyard

A benchmark among the finest Pessac-Léognan wines and located in the heart of the Pessac area, Château Haut-Brion enjoys an exceptional terroir and rests on soils composed of multicoloured gravel, the source of sumptuous, elegant and precise wines that are incredibly consistent from one vintage to the next.

The blend

Merlot (46%)

Cabernet Sauvignon (40%)

Cabernet Franc (14%).

Nose

The nose is rich and deep.

Palate

Ample and smooth, the palate is seduced by this wine’s subtle balance between freshness and power. This fine vintage, regarded as the finest wine ever produced by the estate at the time of its release, is reminiscent of fine vintages such as 2005, 2009, 1990 and 1989.
