The colour is so deep that the wine seems almost black like hearth stone. The nose has an astounding intensity. This wine cannot deny its heritage as one finds absolutely all the complexity that characterizes Haut-Brion: the traces of smoke, cigars, and roasted coffee beans. Fresh fruit is also discernable: ... more
Very intense color. Very strong nose, dominated above all by fruity notes and a high mineral content. Cultivation methods add a touch of additional complexity. Strong palate and full-flavoured. The wine is structured, with very smooth tannins. The finish is long and savory. more
Elegance would be the word that best describes this wine. There exist obvious wines which spontaneously approach you and those whose reticence oblige you to draw them out to get to know them. Château Haut-Brion, without a doubt, falls into the second category. Its color is a very deep red. ... more

Dense flavors of cassis, violet, bitter chocolate and ... more
The freshness of colour, a rather dense purple makes one think of a year both vigorous and full-flavoured. In the mouth the structure of the wine reveals itself at once. The ripe tannins are immediately noticeable quickly giving way to sensations of smooth full-flavour. This is a well-balanced wine within ... more
Hearty, ample, velvety, rather close to Mission in the richness of its makeup, with a stronger use of wood, it has significant length and very refined and harmonious tannins, with a pleasantness rare in Pessac. Very racy vintage. more
The Pavie terroir produces wine which is characterized by remarkable power. Fermentation temperatures are kept moderate and the wine does not stay too long on the skins in order to preserve finesse. The wine's natural richness and strength nevertheless makes malolactic fermentation and ageing possible in 100% new oak barrels. more
A very deep colour; an intense nose of fresh fruit; smooth, perfectly ripe, tannins; full-bodied, concentrated wine. A floral structure with notes of red peaches. more
Powerful, without aggressiveness, spherical, silky, always with elegance and breed, a core of Cabernet Franc enveloped with Merlot, the wine of Cheval Blanc approaches the style of a Pomerol without quite resembling a Saint Emilion. With its freshness and cashmere-soft tannins, it ages marvellously, expressing the effect of its terroir, ... more
