    Product description

    Château Haut Brion is the only property outside the Médoc to be included in the 1855 classification and to have earned its status as first growth. Dating back to 1525, the vineyard spreads over 51 hectares with an average age of 40 years old vines.

    Made with a higher proportion of Merlot than the wine from the Médoc, Chateau Haut Brion is complex and voluptuous and can age for decades.

    Awards

    Good deep red. Thoroughly ripe aromas of redcurrant, Cuban tobacco and chestnut. Lovely purity and delineation of flavor; lively and intense. Finishes with ripe, very fine tannins and impressive persistence. The finish still hints at youthful austerity. A star of the vintage.

    About the producer: Château Haut Brion

    Classified as a 1st growth, Château Haut Brion is the only property outside the Haut Medoc appellation to be in the 1855’s classification. Located in Pessac Léognan, it was bought by the Clarence family in 1935. Today, grandson Prince Robert of Luxembourg is in charge of the domaine. The quality has always been consistent at Haut Brion, especially since the 1980’s and, it is today perceived as one of the world’s most elegant and complex wine. The production of the grand vin is very limited with less than 800 cases produced most years. View our selection.
