CHÂTEAU HAUT BRION WINE

Haut Brion and its sister property, La Mission Haut Brion which was acquired by the Dillon family in 1983 and is situated opposite the main estate, are almost entirely surrounded by the suburbs of Bordeaux. The vineyards are only 5km southwest of the centre of the city and it is a credit to the property that it has managed to continue unaffected by the encroaching urban sprawl.

In recent years some of the Château Haut Brion wines have been renamed, with Bahans Haut Brion becoming Le Clarence de Haut Brion in recognition of Clarence Dillon and his family; the white La Clarté de Haut Brion was formerly Les Plantiers and Laville Haut Brion has reverted back to its original name La Mission Haut Brion Blanc.

The Château Haut Brion winery covers an area of around 51 hectares. 48 are for red wine production, while the other 3 produce white Château Haut Brion wines. The majority of grapes grown are Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with areas dedicated for growing Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc are produced in the smaller white grape area.

Haut Brion wines are truly unlike any other from Bordeaux. Enjoy earthy, smoky flavours that are unique to Haut Brion. The wines they produce are subtle and elegant, without being too heavy or with flavours out of balance.
