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
Lovely colour, a handsome dark red, both lively and young. The nose gives a strong impression of softness and harmony. All the aromatic elements are perfectly proportioned: the tinge of woody vanilla, the sweetness of lightly cooked caramel, the slight aggressiveness of liquorish, red and black berries, mulberry, and cherry all meld into a perfect balance discovered in the mouth rendering a finish both long and sweet that gives this wine an exceptional charm.
Food Pairing
Beef, Lamb, Poultry, Game (deer, venison)
