Omschrijving
Château Haut-Brion, 1e Grand Cru Classé 1855 De wijngaard bestaat uit een grindbank die volgens deskundigen overeenkomsten vertoont met die van Ch. Latour in Pauillac. Deze voor de wijnbouw voortreffelijke bodem levert een uitstekende rode wijn- die als enige niet Médoc werd opgenomen in de classificatie van 1855 en de zeldzame status van 1e Grand Cru Classé heeft. In de diepe geconcentreerde smaak proeft men gekaramelliseerde vruchten, cacaopoeder, verse toast, zacht eikenhout en dat alles op heel harmonieuze wijze. Bijna vanzelfsprekend gebruikt Haut-Brion 100 % nieuwe vaten. De wijn heeft een bijzonder verfijnde textuur die zijn gelijke nauwelijks kent waardoor menig wijnliefhebber Haut-Brion als één van de beste van de vijf premiers kwalificeert.

Robert Parker
The 2023 Haut-Brion exhibits a more Cabernet-inflected personality than the richer 2022, offering up a deep but youthfully reserved bouquet of dark wild berries, licorice, smoke and pencil lead mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, nicely integrated new oak and spices. Full-bodied, deep and velvety, it’s layered and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit structured around abundant but velvety tannins, concluding with a long, controlled finish. Somewhat reminiscent of the estate's successful 2006, it's a blend of 52.3% Merlot, 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9.1% Cabernet Franc.

The 2023 Haut-Brion was picked at the same time as the La Mission Haut-Brion, albeit the secateurs sheathed one day later, on October 6. The nose is less immediate than the La Mission and the fruit is a little darker: blackcurrant, juniper, hints of black olive and a light cedar scent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip and tension. This has superb energy, presenting a crescendo of flavors toward a complex and persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. There is real pedigree to this First Growth, and it will certainly give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure.

This is tight, yet so upright and proper, with a vertical line of fine tannin that runs true and deep. It’s medium- to full-bodied with an exquisite texture and a long, structured finish. 52.3% merlot, 38.6% cabernet sauvignon and 9.1% cabernet franc.

Decanter
A stand out wine from Haut-Brion this year and one of the most charming Primeur samples from the estate. A little sombre on the nose, quiet with dark fruit, blackcurrant and brambles. Not so open on the nose, but this wows on the palate - rich, dense for the vintage, weighty in the mouth, clearly ripe and so filling. Chewy and alive, this is brilliant with a buzz of acidity, a sharp, sour, tartness but all so excellently delivered. So charming and so cuddly, this wine wants you to adore it. Bright and voluptuous, and not many can say that in this vintage. Really so great and still with chocolate, mint, pepper, raspberries, and floral notes all the way through. A complete knock out because it has flesh, juice, brightness and style. 3.7ph 4.3 acidity 80 IPT - second highest year after 2010 for the concentration. 42% grand vin production. A potential 100-point wine.
