Description

A legend of Pessac-Léognan and the entire Bordeaux region, Château Haut-Brion create am extremely elegant white wine made for ageing from Sémillon (the majority) and Sauvignon Blanc grown according to sustainable methods. These varieties blossom on two gravelly knolls and, in the cellar, their grapes are fermented and aged in oak barrels.

The latter process can take anywhere from nine months to a year with half the wine spending this time in new containers. Its rarity is due to the fact that it comes from only four hectares of vines.

Vintage 2024 blend: 56.1% Semillon, 43.9% Sauvignon Blanc.

Wine Advocate: “A blend of 56.1% Sémillon and 43.9% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2024 Haut-Brion Blanc reveals a complex, dense bouquet of smoke, iodine, white fruits and flowers mingled with delicate notes of citrus zest. Medium to full-bodied, it has a sappy and layered palate that’s perfectly integrated, with a long, saline and ethereal finish. This vintage beautifully reconciles the intrinsic power of the terroir with the slow ripening of the growing season, resulting in a wine of remarkable finesse and vibrant white-fruited energy. –
