Description

Château Haut-Brion is without a doubt one of the oldest grand crus in the region. Using sustainable methods, it carefully cultivate the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines that produce the grapes which make up its grand vin.

They bury their roots in gravelly knolls that sit on a clay and sand bedrock. THe grapes are harvested by hand beofre the wine produced is matured in oak barrels whose percentage of new wood is in the 80%. Made for ageing, it stuns everyone with its extremely fine tannins and distinctiveness.

“James Suckling” : This is tight, yet so upright and proper, with a vertical line of fine tannin that runs true and deep. It’s medium- to full-bodied with an exquisite texture and a long, structured finish. 52.3% merlot, 38.6% cabernet sauvignon and 9.1% cabernet franc.
