With its fantastic texture and crunchy cassis fruit, Claire Villars-Lurton
acquitted herself with honours with her 2009 Ch. Haut-Bages Libéral.
This is a beautiful wine which wears its new oak seamlessly whilst a cleansing
freshness and an intriguing earthy complexity add perfect balance. Punching
well above its weight, this is destined to be a great value buy in 2009.

Black red, finely concentrated and rather tight black-currant fruit, a certain
leafy leanness that is made up for by good middle concentration and length.

Sweet and oddly floral on the nose...? Plus a note of greenness. Rather simple
and austere. Did this really ripen properly?

Currant and mint, with hints of fresh herbs. Lovely complex nose already.
Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long, racy finish. Solid core of
beautiful fruit.
