Château Haut Brion
When he purchased Château Haut-Brion in 1935 Clarence Dillon restored it to its former glory and to the elite circle of the most legendary wines in the world. This extraordinary bold courageous vision is now continued by the fourth generation of the family represented by Prince Robert of Luxembourg Chairman since 2008. Located in the town of Pessac just a few kilometres from Bordeaux Château Haut-Brion – the first of the three estates acquired by the Dillon family – is the oldest winegrowing property in the region.
Description
The nose is relatively discreet but has great clarity including nuances in turn of red fruit, minerals, woodiness and smoke. We find a complexity in the mouth. In spite of enormous concentration, the tannins do not attack the palate. The wine is precise, long and straight. Behind its façade of austerity we discover a wine with great elegance and stylishness. With the 2004 Château Haut-Brion has developed one the great wines of the vintage.
Food Pairing
