Bordeaux Pessac-Léognan - red 75cl
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
1er Grand Cru Classé 1855
Château Haut Brion 2018
A word from Cave de France: Here is one of Bordeaux's most iconic wines, renowned for its unique style combining power, finesse, and complexity.
The 2018 vintage of Château Haut-Brion is widely considered exceptional, both for the overall quality of the year in Bordeaux and for the particular success of the estate. After a contrasted season marked by demanding climatic conditions, the warm and sunny late summer allowed for remarkable ripeness, producing a wine that is both powerful and perfectly balanced .
In the glass, it offers great aromatic intensity, blending ripe black fruits, spices, menthol notes, and lightly smoky and pastry nuances characteristic of the cru.
On the palate, it impresses with its density and volume, while maintaining an energetic freshness, with very fine, silky, and perfectly integrated tannins, offering a structure that is both ample and precise . The finish is long, deep, and elegant, confirming a very high-level wine.
It is a vintage with great aging potential, which will begin to open after a few years but can evolve for several decades, and is often ranked among the château's greatest recent successes, with scores close to absolute excellence.
The château is a historic property located at the gates of Bordeaux, with origins dating back to the 16th century, and it is the only estate outside Médoc to have been classified Premier Grand Cru in the famous 1855 classification.
Now owned by the Dillon family, it stands as an absolute benchmark among the world's great wines, recognized for its consistent quality, singular style, and major role in the history of Bordeaux wine.
