CHÂTEAU HAUT BRION
Bought by Jean de Pontac in 1533 and passing through 4 different families before its purchase in 1935 by the American financier Clarence Dillon, Château Haut Brion has had one of the most colourful and celebrated histories of any château. Prince Robert of Luxembourg and his mother the Duchesse de Mouchy, president of Domaine Clarence Dillon, must be proud that 75 years later the family is still very much involved. 3rd generation Jean Philippe Delmas is in charge of the wine making, ably assisted in continuing the excellence of Haut Brion wines by Jean-Philippe Masclef as maître de chai, and...RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU

TASTING NOTES
Deep, plummy fruit on the nose, followed by a smooth and elegant attack with no sense of surge, just a gentle even pace with a build in intensity. On the palate, the distinctive crushed minerals, stones, liqueur and earthy notes of the Graves are there to be savoured. The wine is pure and reveals layers of flavour and wonderful complexity....

TASTING NOTES
Autumnal fruit, tobacco and spice, this is unmistakable on the nose and could only be Haut Brion. A dense, earthy and mineral mid-palate, a sturdy, sinuous structure and yet the sleekness and refinement that only comes from the very best. The tannins provide strongly support and the finish is sumptuous with the wine driving through with abundant energy. Drink 2020-2035+...

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.
