Tasting notes

This is profound! 2008 Haut-Brion: The extraordinary 2008 Haut-Brion is a candidate for -wine of the vintage.- Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, it reveals more evolution and complexity in its large-scaled perfume. The dense purple color is followed by a sweet nose of creosote, asphalt, blueberries, black currants and jammy raspberries, sweet tannins, a savory, fleshy mouthfeel and a stunning finish. This incredibly pure, noble wine was produced from one of the estate's smallest crops (only 7,000 cases produced versus the usual 12,000 cases). It should drink well for three decades or more.

About this wine

Château Haut-Brion is a prestigious wine producer located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, France. The estate has a long and rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by Jean de Pontac, a prominent wine merchant. The vineyards were planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, which are still the primary grape varieties used in the production of their wines today.

The style of production at Château Haut-Brion is traditional and focused on quality. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for up to 22 months, depending on the vintage. The winemaking team at Château Haut-Brion is dedicated to producing wines that are elegant, complex, and age-worthy.

Château Haut-Brion produces both red and white wines. The red wines are made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wines are known for their power, structure, and complexity, with flavors of blackcurrant, tobacco, and leather. The white wines are made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, and are known for their freshness, minerality, and citrus flavors.

Overall, Château Haut-Brion is a producer of some of the finest wines in Bordeaux. Their wines are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts around the world, and are sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
