Clarence Haut Brion 2nd Vin Château Haut Brion Pessac-Léognan, 2022

Clarence Haut-Brion is the distinguished second wine of Château Haut-Brion, offering a more approachable expression of one of Bordeaux’s most iconic estates. Crafted with the same exacting standards and pedigree as the grand vin, it showcases the finesse, complexity, and refinement that have made Haut-Brion a benchmark in Pessac-Léognan for centuries.

Tasting Notes
2022 Clarence Haut-Brion is likely to present a deep ruby color with youthful brightness and excellent concentration. The nose typically leans toward ripe blackcurrant, plum, violet, graphite, cedar, and subtle smoky notes, reflecting the classically gravelly style of Pessac-Léognan. On the palate, expect a polished, medium- to full-bodied wine with fine tannins, precise structure, and a layered profile of dark berry fruit, mineral tension, and savory oak spice. The finish should be long and elegant, with the balance to develop further over time; while enjoyable in its youth with proper aeration, it should also reward several years of cellar aging.

Production
Produced in Pessac-Léognan, where deep gravel soils mixed with clay and sand help produce wines with freshness, structure, and aromatic lift. The 2022 vintage was harvested selectively to preserve fruit purity and balance, and vinified under the careful supervision associated with Château Haut-Brion, with fermentation and aging designed to emphasize texture, precision, and harmony.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, wild mushrooms, and game birds. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromatics and tannins to open fully.
