Elegant and complex, Château Haut-Brion presents mineral aromas and a unique complexity. Its strength lies in the finish, which is surprisingly long. This aromatic persistence is due to its very noble origins. It is thought that around 2000 years ago, the virtues of the gravel soils for viticulture were discovered. In 1521, the term “cru” in the location “Aubrion” or “Haulbrion”, referred to the wine elaborated on this terroir. Over the following three centuries, the elevation of Haut-Brion's reputation led it to the rank of Premier Grand Cru Classé in the Bordeaux Classification of 1855.

Press Review
96/100 - This is profound! 2008 Haut-Brion: The extraordinary 2008 Haut-Brion is a candidate for -wine of the vintage.- Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, it reveals more evolution and complexity in its large-scaled perfume. The dense purple color is followed by a sweet nose of creosote, asphalt, blueberries, black currants and jammy raspberries, sweet tannins, a savory, fleshy mouthfeel and a stunning finish. This incredibly pure, noble wine was produced from one of the estate's smallest crops (only 7,000 cases produced versus the usual 12,000 cases). It should drink well for three decades or more. Drink 2011-2041.
