Jean-Marc Quarin November - 2010
Jean-Marc Quarin
Dark, intense color. Animal nose. Beginning of bouquet. Beautiful entry on the palate, juicy and aromatic. The wine develops smoothly, with taste and fine tannins. It is currently very open. Good tannic and creamy length as well. This blend creates a positive austerity that will still be favorable for aging.

Wine Spectator March - 2007
Wine Spectator
Sweet tobacco and fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, fresh, plummy aftertaste. Lacks some concentration but is pleasing. Best after 2007.

Château Château Haut Brion
Château Haut Brion
Château Haut Brion

It was in 1855 that Château Haut Brion was honoured with the highest distinction of Médoc wines: Premier Cru Classé. This title is all the more exceptional as Château Haut Brion is the only non-Médoc estate to be part of the Médoc wine classification, as well as the Graves wine classification as a Cru Classé!

Its terroir is indeed very similar to that of Latour. While not the most concentrated, Haut Brion is the noblest of the great wines of Pessac-Léognan and its longevity is unmatched in this area. The silkiness of its tannins is always exceptional.

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest and yet the smallest in size of the Bordeaux vineyards classified as Premiers Grands Crus (Château Lafite-Rothschild, Château Latour, Château Margaux, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Haut-Brion). Although vineyards have been present in the region since at least Roman times, the first mention of the Haut-Brion vineyard dates back only to 1423. In the early days, wines were known by the names of the parishes from which they came. Haut Brion was founded in 1525 by Jean de Pontac and since then, illustrious figures have succeeded one another. The last of these, Clarence Douglas Dillon, was Secretary of the Treasury under the Kennedy administration. As its reputation grew, the name of the estate came to replace that of its owners. The concept of Grand Cru was born! We find the first mention of it in Samuel Pepys' diary, who wrote on 10 April 1663: "I have just tasted a French wine called Ho-Bryan (sic) which has the best and most special taste I have ever encountered..."

Among the many great vintages of Château Haut Brion, the exceptional years are 1926, 1945, 1953, 1959, 1961, 1982, 1990, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000.
