1995

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

The characteristic of this wine is its harmony between
the very soft and very fine structure and
the complex aroma given by the earth of the “Graves”.
There is a lot of charm in this bottle which could
be consumed either in the next few years or be kept
in the cellar as the wine will age remarkably.

The weather

1995 was a precocious year. The winter was mild and the spring hot and dry. The bud burst and the flowering were precocious and homogeneous. June, July and August were characterized by hot temperatures and no rain. Some of the vines with superficial roots as for young vines suffered from dryness. The harvest was perfectly ripe and sounds although September was cooler than usual and rainy in the middle of the month.
