"a masterpiece." 100 points - James Suckling
With a history that dates back to 1660 when it was served at the table of King Charles II, Château Haut-Brion has maintained its position as a legendary wine estate. This exceptional blend is crafted from 45% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Cabernet Franc, complemented by a touch of Petit Verdot. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted multiple times, resulting in limited yields and a 22-month maturation in new oak barrels. The wine exhibits velvety notes of ripe blackcurrant and a mineral profile, showcasing the finesse that is synonymous with Haut Brion. In exceptional vintages, it can age for decades, with standout years like 1961 and 1989 solidifying its place among the world's greatest red wines.
