Great wines are known for their consistency. Château Haut-Brion belongs to the select group of prestigious crus which, year after year, whatever the weather conditions, continue to enchant us and demonstrate the strength of their terroir. Seductive, bewitching, Haut-Brion knows no equal. The years go by, but the myth remains: incomparable and inimitable.
Rated 97/100 by Olivier Poussier, the 2023 Haut-Brion Blanc captivates with its purity and level of maturity, with Sauvignon dominating this year's blend (58%) without exuberance. Nuances of almond, exotic fruit, pineapple and candied citrus mingle with a delicate woodiness, and a perfectly legible mineral depth, rivalling fatness and amplitude. Full-bodied and skilfully controlled, the wine is restrained, subtle in its touch, and articulated around a freshness that is stretched out, never sharp, of great class. Immense potential!
Once again, the undisputed masterpiece of Pessac-Léognan.
