CHÂTEAU HAUT BRION 1993

Wine 1993 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pessac Leognan

Tasting notes : Our surprise and satisfaction are great in front of this wine. The color is very deep and sustained. The nose is typical of the vintage with notes of intense and ripe red fruits. The tannic structure is silky and rich. The wine is complex and perfectly balanced. It is without a doubt a very beautiful bottle of Haut-Brion.

Grape variety / Blend : Cabernet sauvignon (~45.5%), merlot (~45%), cabernet franc (~9.5%), petit verdot (~1%) (variations are possible from one vintage to another)

Maturity : Must be drunk

Food and Wine Pairing : Beef and venison

This wine was phenomenal. Cork was like butter but the Ahso never fails. PNP and very austere off the bat. About fifteen minutes was all it needed though. Nose was very muted. Some dried fruit. Red twizzler, Forrest floor, pencil shavings, and dried fruit were all present on the palette. Tannins were silky. Nice long smooth finish. This wine evolved the longer I gave it in the glass. All present at the tasting were pleasantly surprised with this vintage. Can't wait to drink it again.

Bristling with herbal, spicy gooseberry and apple flavors, bright and fragrant. Light in texture, elegant and delicately shaded with spicy oak. Polished, but zingy.

Quite a surprise in a difficult vintage, a strict selection and the superb terroir of Haut Brion triumphed over a very challenging year that produced many hard, relatively herbaceous wines. The colour is a surprisingly saturated deep plum/ruby. Some sweet berry fruit intermixed with menthol, graphite, damp earth, and a hint of mushroom emerges in this medium-bodied, very elegant Haut Brion that is still firmly structured but has sweet tannin and surprising length and ripeness. The wine will always represent a sleeper style.

1993 Haut Brion offers a tobacco, leaf, smoke, herb and cassis scented perfume. Medium bodied, with a light, red fruit accented finish, this wine needs to be drunk up.

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.
