About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet Merlot Cabernet FrancBordeaux, FranceChâteau Haut-Brion is the only Château outside of the Médoc to be categorised in the original 1855 classification of red wines and was bestowed 1st growth status no less! Château Haut-Brion has a unique character that can be described as a balanced between elegance and harmony. It has always been a wine that is surprisingly approachable close to release, yet still ages remarkably well for decades. Vintage 2008 was a little kinder to Haut-Brion that some previous vintages with some plush, rich and full-bodied fruit showing in the bottle.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
