Characteristics and tasting advice for Château Haut-Brion 2014
Tasting
Nose
A delicate nose, exuding fragrances of black red fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) as well as empyreumatic notes.
Palate
The palate combines a beautiful tannic structure with an elegant touch and a power that stretches harmoniously to the finish.
The refinement and balance of a great Pessac-Léognan wine
The property
The oldest of the Bordeaux Grands Crus, Château Haut-Brion benefits from a rich heritage built over five centuries of history. Founded in 1533 by Jean de Pontac in the Graves region, the wine of Château Haut-Brion was quickly coveted and appreciated by the greatest monarchs of Europe. In 1663, Samuel Pepys, a member of the English Parliament, unknowingly contributed to the success of Château Haut-Brion through his diary, writing "And there, I drank a sort of French wine called Ho-Bryan which had a very particular good taste that I had never encountered...". The legend was born. First Grand Cru Classé outside Médoc in 1855 and recognized as a Classified Growth in the Official Classification of Graves Wines in 1959, Château Haut-Brion continues to write the legend of the greatest wines of Bordeaux but also international, confirming, vintage after vintage, its exceptional regularity.
The vineyard
A true viticultural jewel of the A.O.C of Pessac-Léognan located in the heart of the Pessac agglomeration, Château Haut-Brion has an exceptional terroir on soils composed of multicolored gravels, producing sumptuous, elegant, precise wines with incredible regularity from one vintage to another.
The vintage
A particularly mild spring ensures an optimal start to the vegetative cycle. The summer's climatic instability slowing down the maturities gives way to a dry, sunny and salvaging September, also thanks to cool nights promoting excellent maturity and health.
Vinification and aging
Aging in new barrels to the extent of 70%.
Blend
Merlot (50%)
Cabernet sauvignon (39%)
Cabernet franc (11%).
