Notes : Le Point 15/20, RVF Spécial millésime 2008: between 15.5 and 17.5/20
Château Haut-Maurac, managed by Olivier Decelle, is on a par with the progress he has made at his other properties (Châteaux Jean-Faure and Haut-Ballet and Mas Amiel in Maury): to make it one of the benchmarks of its appellation. The challenge has been met with this powerful, aromatic and delicately oaky Haut-Médoc from the excellent 2008 vintage.
