2023 Château Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 52% Merlot; 39% Cabernet Sauvignon; 9% Cabernet Franc.

The 2023 seemed to present a rather stern and enigmatic face during our tastings. The tannins are just as coercive as in the second wine – a characteristic that is rather atypical of the vintage. But the grand vin’s greater complexity allowed more graceful floral and hedgerow blackberry notes to be coaxed out. The finish is densely packed and deeply mineral. At this stage, the wine still seems rather hard to read. Given the château’s status, however, there is little doubt that there will be a very good wine lurking in there.

Drink 2035 - 2065

About this wine

Pessac-Léognan

Pessac-Léognan

In 1986 a new communal district was created within Graves, based on the districts of Pessac and Léognan. Pessac-Léognan has the best soils of the region, very similar to those of the Médoc, although the depth of gravel is more variable, and contains all the classed growths of the region. Some of its great names, including Ch. Haut-Brion, even sit serenely and resolutely in Bordeaux's southern urban sprawl.
