About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet BlendBordeaux, FranceConsidered one of the finest releases of the lauded Chateau Haut-Brion red wine, this impeccable 1st Growth is the only one located outside of Medoc, situated in Pessac-Leognan and curated by one of the great French winemakers, Jean-Bernard Delmas, and now his son Jean-Phillipe. This is a seductively textured wine of power, balance and incredible aging potential. Structure shows infinite detail, suave tannins and a coursing power that will be attractive not only in youth, but with the mellowing of age. Poised between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a smaller component of Cabernet Franc.

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.

As for the 2010 Haut-Brion, it does not have the power of Latour’s 2010 or the intense lead pencil shavings and chocolaty component of Lafite-Rothschild, but it is extraordinary, perfect wine. It has a slightly lower pH than the 2009 (3.7 versus the 2009'
