Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc,
For laying down,
There are lovely aromas of citrus and white fruit on the nose, combined with an over-riding minerality, density and power. This is lovely and precise, floral and verbena-scented on the nose. There are layers and layers of fruit, all tightly packed together. It makes a big impact, but is able to balance everything within its very fine structure. Some grass is evident on the nose and stone-fruit apparent on the palate, while zesty fruit lingers on the finish.

Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc,
For laying down,
There is terrific depth and length on offer here. Floral, verbena notes with touches of glorious butter, give way to a really flavoursome palate, which is quite poised and elegant. Several layers are on offer followed by a freshness which is very appealing indeed. A very good result in a very difficult 2013 vintage.

Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc,
For laying down,
If La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is Arnie then this must be a young Sean Connery. You have to reach a little harder in the glass for the nose here, a little less direct perhaps but certainly more complexity. It envelopes out with every sniff and is a lighter foot than the La Mission with an ethereal like palate. The fruit is packed in tight but it almost haunting how it glides around the palate with such poise and precision. Again there are so many layers here and it is the freshness of acidity that guides it to an expansive finish that lingers on and on. Very special. 2018-2040.

Chateau Haut Brion is located in the bustling suburb of Pessac on the outskirts of Bordeaux, this 45-hectare 1er Cru Classé property was the only property outside of the Médoc and Sauternes to be included in the 1855 Classifcation. The vineyards (Red: Cabernet Sauvignon 45%; Merlot 37%; Cabernet Franc 18%; White: Semillon 63%; Sauvignon Blanc 37%) lie on large (up to 18 metres deep in places) gravel banks interspersed with clay.
Jean-Bernard Delmas, one of Bordeaux`s great characters, has been régisseur since 1961 and the wine-making is now overseen by Jean-Philippe Masclef. Haut Brion is characterised by its seductive perfume, harmony, elegance and its ability to age with grace and dignity. A superb white is also produced.
