Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 2019, 6 x 75cl

With vines emerging on the hillside of Chateau Haut Brion in the 1st century AD, this vineyard became the first luxury wine brand in the world and in 1855, became the only cru outside of the Medoc to receive the iconic title of Premier Grand Cru Classe (Classified First Growth).

Tasting Notes:

“A powerful, concentrated, muscular Haut-Brion, full of layers that will take years to fully uncover. Think liquorice, leather, crushed stones, smoked earth, bitter chocolate shavings, ripe and rich through the mid palate, both generous and finessed, with silky tannins that exert their influence without getting in the way of the sappy freshness that runs right through the wine. A seriously impressive vintage at this First Growth, one to put away and not think about for the next decade. Harvest September 10 to October 3.” Score: 97 - Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, October 2021

Serving Suggestions:

Pairs well with red, white & game meat and mushroom dishes.
