Description

Château Haut-Brion 2018 is a powerful yet finely balanced expression of Pessac-Léognan, combining ripe fruit and concentration with the estate’s signature mineral character. One of Bordeaux’s most historic wines, Haut-Brion was named a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification.

Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, it opens with aromas of blackcurrant and dark berries, joined by graphite, cedar, smoke, tobacco and warming spice. The palate is concentrated and mature in character, with layers of dark fruit held in balance by fine structure and a mineral edge. Its depth and firm structure point to a long life ahead in the cellar. Enjoyable with careful preparation, it should continue to develop complexity over many years.

Production
Haut-Brion’s vineyards lie in Pessac-Léognan, where gravelly soils, with areas of clay, contribute to the region’s distinctive combination of ripe fruit and mineral notes. Grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected before vinification; the wine is then matured in oak barrels. Specific details of the 2018 blend and élevage are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast lamb, beef, game or richly flavoured mushroom dishes. Given its youth and concentration, decanting for one to two hours can help the wine open up; for older bottles, decant gently and taste as you go.

Producer
Château Haut-Brion is a landmark estate in Bordeaux’s Pessac-Léognan appellation, with a history stretching back to the 16th century. Its inclusion as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855—alongside the leading estates of the Médoc—is a rare distinction for a Graves property and reflects its longstanding standing in Bordeaux.
