Chateau Haut Brion

To compensate for the unevenness of the different stages of development of the vines (there was a difference of about 15 days between the shoots not affected by the frost and the new shoots), we had to take exceptional measures. At the time of maturing, we marked the shoots not affected by the frost with a spray known as Bouillie Bordelaise. These were harvested separately and before the others. The wine they produced was particularly successful and it served as a base for the blending. A wine of quality without either the bitterness or the harshness that one had feared. To the contrary it is very supple, mature and deep in structure. A very good and rare Haut-Brion. Elegant and complex, Château Haut-Brion red presents mineral aromas and a unique complexity. Its strength lays in the finish, which is surprisingly long. This aromatic persistence is due to its very noble origins. (Chateau Haut-Brion) Es spricht vieles dafür, dass es sich bei diesem großartigen Premier Cru, dem Chateau Haut Brion, um den elegantesten und hinsichtlich der Aromen komplexesten Wein der Welt handelt. (Robert M. Parker, Jr.) 1er cru classé, Graves Das Château Haut-Brion ist das älteste, wenn auch kleinste der Weingüter, das 1855 mit der Klassifikation Premiers Grands Crus ausgezeichnet wurde.
