2004 Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan

The 2004 Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion is a historic wine from Pessac-Léognan, originating from one of Bordeaux's most iconic estates. Although the Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion label is no longer actively produced, existing bottles remain beloved by collectors and enthusiasts. Because wine is a natural product, it remains a source of curiosity to see how a bottle develops after nearly twenty years, and every sip can reveal subtle nuances unique to that bottle. How it has developed after 20 years is unknown and is an experience in itself.

the Haut-Brion winery

Haut-Brion is one of the oldest and most famous wineries in Bordeaux. The estate produces wines with a powerful structure, elegant tannins, and complex aromas. Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion was a second label from the estate, intended to make the rich terroir of Pessac-Léognan accessible to a wider audience. Although this label is no longer active, the wine still reflects the character of the vineyards and the estate's style: refined, deep, and balanced.
