Château La Tour Haut-Brion
Château La Tour Haut Brion is a separate château, under the same
ownership as Châteaux Haut
Brion and La Mission Haut
Brion.
Until 1983 Château La Tour Haut Brion was the second wine of La Mission Haut Brion, but after the take over of La mission' and La Tour' by the Domaine Clarence Dillon, La Tour' gained its own identity.
The vineyards are planted with 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 23% Merlot, a similar mix to Haut Brion itself. the wines spend around 20 months in oak barrels, 30% of which are new each year.
