Product details
Château Haut-Brion, established in 1525, is one of Bordeaux's most prestigious estates, celebrated for its pioneering role in shaping the reputation of Bordeaux. Located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, the estate combines centuries of tradition with meticulous vineyard management and modern winemaking techniques. The 2021 vintage reflects this dedication to excellence, blending 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50.3% Merlot, and 11.7% Cabernet Franc to produce a red wine of elegance, complexity, and remarkable aromatic persistence, rooted in the estate’s noble terroir.
The 2021 Château Haut-Brion Rouge displays a deep, dark purple hue. On the nose, it is very aromatic, with fine, compact, and fruity notes that evolve into pure, fresh, and delicate fruitiness upon swirling. The palate begins short but rich and delicious, seamlessly merging power and delicacy. As it develops, the wine becomes full and continuous, with a plump, fresh, and fruity structure. Mineral undertones emerge alongside hints of ripe berries, and subtle earthy notes, culminating in a surprisingly long and elegant finish that leaves a lingering sense of thickness and pleasure.
This exceptional Haut-Brion pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as roasted lamb, beef Wellington, or aged cheeses, allowing its layered fruit, minerality, and long finish to elevate the dining experience.
