2023 Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac, Bordeaux

Description

The 2023 Haut-Bages Libéral was picked at 53hL/ha between September 12 and 30 and matured for 16 months in 40% new oak. 

The nose was quite backward when I tasted it, though Claire Villars-Lurton commented that it had just closed down the week I visited. It will be more open once in bottle. The palate is more indicative: clean, fresh, linear and nicely focused, with more grip than the Ferrière. Touches of graphite linger on the finish. This is very classically styled, and there is nothing wrong with that–a wine for Pauillac purists and those seeking wines with fewer sulfites.

Drink 2028 - 2046

About this wine

Pauillac

Pauillac

The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
