2015
Château Haut-Brion Blanc
Tasting notes
White Château Haut-Brion has a complex nose
revealing hints of mango,
lychee, pineapple, rose petal, and pepper.
The Sauvignon Blanc comes through beautifully here.
The wine is full and fruity on the palate, going on to show breadth,
richness, and a superb, saline mouth-watering aftertaste.
The weather
The year 2015 appears to be the warmest and sunniest, throughout our country, since the beginning of meteorological statistics. A long heat wave and dry period allowed to achieve excellent flowering conditions until the arrival, in August, of miraculous rains.This rain enabled the vines to maintain the necessary water reserves and to provide requisite nourishment for perfect ripeness. The harvest began in September under a clear blue sky. Thanks to this ideal weather, we were able to wait for optimum ripeness for each grape variety. All the conditions are there to allow 2015 to join the greatest vintages of Bordeaux.
