Château Haut Brion, Bordeaux Wine Region, France
BORDEAUX BLEND, Drinking 2025-2055Château Haut Brion, Bordeaux Wine Region, France
BORDEAUX BLEND, Drinking 2025-2055"The mineral-laced 2005 Haut Brion (56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc) is exquisite. With its elegance and finesse, it is not as powerful as La Mission, but the nobility and complexity of the aromatics, incredible fragrance (subtle smoke and blue, red, and black fruits) that persists in the glass, full-bodied mouthfeel (though very light and delicate on its feet), and incredible length characterize this great Haut-Brion. It is just starting to drink well, and should continue to do so for at least another three decades. It is a tour de force in winemaking, but only 9,000 cases were produced."

Bought by Jean de Pontac in 1533 and passing through 4 different families before its purchase in 1935 by Clarence Dillon, Château Haut Brion has had one of the most 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 winemaking, ably assisted in continuing the excellence of Haut Brion wines by Jean-Philippe Masclef as maître de chai, and Pascal Baratié the vineyard manager.
