The 2019 Haut-Brion is a poem between strength and finesse: at first glance, the garnet-purple color captures the light, dense and dark like precious velvet.

The aromatic bouquet slowly awakens, with notes of ripe red and black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry), enriched with noble spices, cedar, a smoky veil, and graphite—a scent of mystery that enchants the senses.

On the palate, it is nobility incarnate: the body is rich, vibrant, and full of life; the fine, perfectly integrated tannins give a silky, elegant texture.
The internal freshness plays a crucial role, keeping the power in check, ensuring a tension that elevates the wine above opulence.

The finish, of astonishing length, unfurls echoes of fruit, spice, and minerality in the air—a register that inspires respect and admiration.

The 2019 is already incredible, but what awaits it in the cellar makes it almost legendary.

Imagine a terrace of ancient gravel, swept by the breezes of the Gironde, on which rise two legendary hilltops: this is the kingdom of Château Haut-Brion, the only Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855 entirely outside the Médoc, and also a Cru Classé de Graves—a unique double distinction in the Bordeaux region.

From the very beginning, this terroir has been cherished: since the Gallo-Roman era, men have pressed the “graves”—those small quartz pebbles so poor yet so fertile—and discovered that beneath this bed of stones lies a soil of sand, clay, limestone, and faluns, capable of giving life to wines that are at once deep, refined, and timeless.

The vineyard covers approximately 51 hectares, divided between 48 hectares of red vines (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot) and a few hectares of white (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris)—each plot harvested with the greatest care, the old vines imparting their wisdom to the youth of the grapes.

Backed by this thousand-year history, the estate lives under the aegis of the Clarence Dillon family, whose passion captures and perpetuates the prestige, elegance, and nobility of the wine. Here, everything contributes to the exceptional: the unique soils, the refined microclimate, the natural drainage, the demanding aging process, and the unwavering respect for oenological heritage.

Haut-Brion is not just a wine—it’s a legend embodied in every glass.
