Clarence Haut Brion 2nd Vin Château Haut Brion Pessac-Léognan - Double Magnum 3L, 2021

Clarence Haut-Brion is the second wine of the legendary Château Haut-Brion, offering a more approachable expression of one of Bordeaux’s most historic estates. In the generous 3L double magnum format, the 2021 vintage is particularly well suited to longer cellaring and special occasions.

Tasting Notes
As with many wines from Pessac-Léognan, the 2021 Clarence Haut-Brion is likely to show a refined, balanced profile with a deep ruby hue and a polished, understated character. Expect aromas of dark berries, plum, tobacco leaf, cedar, and subtle earthy spice, followed by a palate that is elegant and structured, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, measured finish. While it is already approachable in its youth, the wine should benefit from several years in bottle, developing greater complexity and softness over time. The double magnum format is especially favorable for aging, helping preserve freshness and slow the wine’s evolution.

Production
Produced in Pessac-Léognan, in the gravelly soils of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Clarence Haut-Brion reflects the exceptional terroir and meticulous standards of Château Haut-Brion. The estate’s vineyards are known for their well-draining gravel, which encourages ripe, concentrated fruit with freshness and precision. The 2021 harvest would have been carried out with careful selection to maintain quality in a more classic Bordeaux vintage, followed by traditional vinification methods aimed at preserving purity, structure, and elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, game birds, and mushroom-based dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant for 1-2 hours if opening young to allow the wine to open up and show its full aromatic depth.
