Château Haut-Brion Rouge
Elegant and complex, Château Haut-Brion red presents mineral aromas and a unique complexity. Its strength lays in the finish, which is surprisingly long. This aromatic persistence is due to its very noble origins.
Tasting notes
Our fulfillment and satisfaction are great considering this vintage.
The colour is deep and constant.
The nose is typical of Haut-Brion with the
intense ripe aroma of red berries.
The tannins are rich and soft. The wine is
complex and perfectly balanced.
It’s an extremely good Haut-Brion.
The weather
A warm spring brought on early budding. Through June, the weather was very good. The flowering was uniform. After a bout of cold weather August was pretty warm. August makes the must is a local adage. The grapes were remarkably healthy and ripened well. The rainy weather with one or two storms did not affect them at all.
