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 98-100
The 2025 Haut-Brion was picked from September 1 (slightly later than La Mission) to September 18 at 29 hl/ha. Aged in 59% new oak, this has a very pure and elegant bouquet with ebullient brambly red fruit, crushed stone, potpourri and touches of Earl Grey. Wonderful delineation and a little more refined than, say, the 2020 or 2022. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, and there is more complexity here than La Mission, more depth and mineralite. Fresh and marine-tinged towards the finish that makes you want to come back. This year, the First Growth has put a bit of distance between itself and La Mission.
Anticipated maturity: 2035-2070
Antonio Galloni 96-98
The 2025 Haut-Brion is quite the powerhouse. Black fruit, cloves, new leather, tobacco, chocolate and menthol open before a wave of huge tannins and incisive acids take over. Haut-Brion can be rather dark and somber. That is very much the case with the 2025, a wine that speaks with sepia-toned, baritone inflections. It also conveys more obvious ripeness than La Mission Haut-Brion at this stage.
Anticipated maturity: 2035-2075
JancisRobinson.com 18
62% Merlot, 26.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.8% Cabernet Franc. 26 hl/ha. Cask sample.Lifted and fresh. More perceptible acidity than La Mission. Really powerful tannic frame but less velvety and plush than some years. Plenty of vigour but clearly a work in progress. (JL)
Anticipated maturity: 2035-2055
