Château Haut-Brion
Visit Château Haut-Brion was created and structured in 1533 by Jean de Pontac, making it Bordeaux's oldest vineyard, with the particularity of being enclosed within the city.

The vineyards of Château Haut-Brion is located on a terroir formed by two large croups of Günzian gravel, with a clay-limestone subsoil. It covers 51 hectares, 48 of which are planted with red grapes (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) and 3 with white grapes (Semillon and Sauvignon).

In 1855, Château Haut-Brion is elevated to the rank of Premier Cru Classé rouge de la Gironde. Only three other Bordeaux wines were then distinguished in a classification that is still the benchmark today. In a way, he is the "Father of the First Classified Growths".

"Called a LORD and a LEGEND in the making!"

"Haut-Brion's 2020 (43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 17% Cabernet Franc) more than lives up to its high standards. Draped in a dark but brilliant color, it reveals a nose of rare complexity: cappuccino, faded rose, pepper, menthol notes, perfectly ripened black fruit, a touch of smoke... From the first taste, it displays its solid presence, without reserve, with strength and aplomb, but without any aggressiveness, carried by tannins that are at once firm, precise and refined, with the bonus of an immense finish full of mineral freshness, with stony tones. A lord. (Guide Hachette 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"It reaches perfection!"

"Black currant emerges from the glass, accompanied by iodine, sandalwood and subtle nuances of moss and damp bark, then turns to violet. The palate is breathtaking, with a cashmere texture that unfolds on the palate and continues for minutes. It's full of superbly complex, ethereal character and mouthfeel. One of the wines of the vintage. As glorious as it may be to taste now, this is a wine for your deep cellar. Try it in 2029.

"This is beautiful with pure aromas of cassis and rose petal, as well as black truffle, leading to a medium to full-bodied palate with ultra-fine tannins that coat the mouth and give a fantastic impression. The complexity of flavors is so satisfying on the finish." (James Suckling 2022) - Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method)
