2019 Château Haut Brion

Of all the Bordeaux premier crus, Haut-Brion is the most charming, always elegant and refined and always in top condition, young or old. Haut Brion is the oldest and historically the most colourful estate in the Gironde - it was here that the first single-vineyard Bordeaux was made in the 17th century, first served in London coffee houses and praised by many eminent writers. In 1935, the estate was bought by Clarence Dillon, an American banker. He invested heavily in renovating the chai and the vineyard. In 1960, Haut-Brion became the first premier cru to replace the wooden barrels with stainless steel tanks. In 1983, the Dillon family bought the neighbouring Château la Mission Haut-Brion. Haut-Brion is almost always the fastest maturing and most accessible of the premier crus, but this easy, young charm is deceptive, because the wine matures beautifully.

A powerful, brooding wine, the 2019 Haut-Brion leaps from the glass with a magnificent intensity. Its grandeur and regal bearing are immediately apparent. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of dark fruit, scorched earth, tar, licorice and incense notes that build effortlessly to the deep, eternal finish. The 2019 Haut-Brion is a wine of pedigree, structure and power. It is also very clearly one of the highlights of the 2019 vintage. Don't miss it!
