Producer Profile
Chateau Haut Brion: The Connoisseur’s First Growth
The sole First Growth from Pessac, Chateau Haut Brion, is one of Bordeaux’s icon fine wines. Historic – in Jane Anson’s words, “Haut Brion is unquestionably the one with the greatest claim to being the actual First of the Firsts in terms of longevity and historical influence” – and brilliant in equal measure. It fully deserves its place at Bordeaux’s top table.
There’s a quiet confidence about Haut Brion. It has a remarkable habit of achieving perfect ratings from the critics. However, it always seems to be great value compared to fellow First Growths. Combine this with a gorgeous style, and it’s easy to see why Haut Brion is often considered a connoisseur’s choice.
The famous Grand Vin makes up about 40% of production. This is about the same as the second wine, Le Clarence de Haut Brion.
Chateau Haut Brion’s home in Pessac is famous for its white wines; Haut Brion Blanc is the benchmark, a wine against which all others are mentioned and a rival to the great white of Montrachet in terms of quality, exclusivity, collectability and indeed price.
A Wine of Stunning Beauty
Located on the outskirts of Bordeaux city itself, Haut Brion sits on a fantastic terroir. Varied soils are of limestone, sandy gravels and deep clays. The location close to Bordeaux gives a little extra warmth. This means earlier picking than most and a touch more Merlot than Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend.
Haut Brion’s style is one of genuine beauty. The varied terroirs here combine to result in a wine that combines the elegance of Lafite with the aromatic complexity of Margaux. Again, to quote Jane Anson, it “is often the benchmark for what can be achieved in any given vintage in Bordeaux.
The Legendary Chateau Haut Brion 1989
Any list of the best wines made in Bordeaux, or anywhere else for that matter, must include Chateau Haut Brion 1989. The product of an excellent Bordeaux vintage, it was an immense wine from barrel and fully lived up to its potential. 1989 Haut Brion has amassed 100-point scores from nearly every critic that has tasted it.
As 1989 Haut Brion, it ages and matures, it continues to impress. Neal Martin awarded it a perfect score in 2019, and Jane Anson did the same in 2021. William Kelley followed suit in 2022.

Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 97
The 2016 Haut-Brion has a ripe, delineated and focused bouquet, exquisite black fruit laced with graphite that gains intensity in the glass, and just a background hint of Valrhona chocolate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a keen line of acidity and gentle grip, cashmere-textured, with a composed and very harmonious, mineral-rich finish that displays just a little alcohol. But the balance and poise feel uncompromised and result in a sublime creation. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2055

Tasted blind. Lustrous dark ruby. Very seductive. Rich and sweet and gorgeous. With a little lift on the (slightly hot) end. (JR)
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2044
Antonio Galloni 100
The 2016 Haut-Brion is quite possibly even more magnificent from bottle than it was from barrel. Powerful and rich, yet not at all heavy, the 2016 is a wine of nearly indescribable beauty. Haut-Brion is often a thrilling wine, but it is rarely this finessed in its youth. Gravel, cure meat, tobacco and cedar are some of the many nuances that develop with air, but it is an extraordinary sense of harmony that really stands out. What a wine!
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2066
Wine Advocate 100
The 2016 Haut-Brion is blended of 56% Merlot, 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.5% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is at once profound and arresting, offering drop-dead gorgeous Morello cherries, lilacs and red rose scents with a core of Black Forest cake, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves plus wafts of sandalwood and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the elegantly crafted palate is completely packed with intense floral, mineral and cassis-laced flavors with a firm frame of very finely pixelated tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and achingly stunning.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2070
