CHATEAU HAUT BRION 2021 750 ml

Discover the timeless allure of Château Haut Brion 2021, a standout red wine from France's Bordeaux region, specifically the Pessac Léognan area within Graves. This First Growth estate traces its roots to the 16th century and has thrived under Domaine Clarence Dillon's stewardship since 1935. What sets it apart is a bold fusion of heritage and forward-thinking practices, yielding bottles that captivate with their grace and staying power.

In this 2021 expression, expect a lively ruby color that hints at the vibrancy within. Aromas leap from the glass—think vivid redcurrant and cranberry, touched with graphite, soft florals, and whispers of cedar alongside smoke. Crafted from roughly 50% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Cabernet Franc, it unfolds on the tongue with poise: crisp red fruits dance with polished tannins and a straight-line mineral backbone. Medium in body yet poised to perfection, the lingering savory close invites contemplation.

The 2021 Bordeaux growing season tested growers with frost and mildew, slashing volumes across the board. Yet Château Haut Brion rose above through dedicated vine care and skilled cellar decisions, distilling the year's essence into a beacon of clarity, zest, and subtlety—one of the top performers from a demanding vintage. Critics agree: Wine Spectator awards 95 points, Vinous 94, and Decanter a lofty 96.

At 14% ABV and in a classic 750 ml bottle, this wine shines brightest alongside hearty dishes like grilled lamb chops, roast quail, or a wild mushroom tart, where its layers amplify every bite. Whether building your collection or seeking a memorable pour, Château Haut Brion 2021 delivers the precision and depth that define elite Bordeaux reds. Secure your bottle and experience the estate's enduring legacy firsthand.
