Château Haut-Brion stands as an iconic symbol of excellence within Bordeaux's illustrious winemaking landscape. With a history spanning over four centuries, this historic estate holds the distinction of being one of the five First Growth estates of the Bordeaux Classification of 1855. Nestled in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Haut-Brion's vineyards benefit from gravelly soils and a favorable microclimate, yielding grapes of exceptional quality and character. Renowned for its unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and tradition, Château Haut-Brion produces wines of unparalleled elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness, captivating wine enthusiasts around the globe with each vintage's unique expression of terroir and heritage.

The 2017 Haut-Brion was picked from 31 August to 29 September, the longest harvest ever, matured in 69% new oak. It has a more generous bouquet than the La Mission Haut-Brion at this point: black cherries, blueberry, a little confit fruit, hints of warm gravel and clove. It is much more restrained than the previous vintages – cooler and linear. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, nicely structured with more grip in the mouth than the La Mission. What it has in common with the aforementioned is a sense of symmetry. It feels very persistent with a light marine/oyster shell influence on the finish. This probably has the edge over the La Mission Haut-Brion at the moment, but intra-family competitiveness aside, it boils down to a great follow-up to the brilliant 2015 and 2016.  Drink from 2022 to  2050.
