Premier Grand Cru Classé

The 2000 Château Haut-Brion flirts with perfection. The nose is breathtaking with exuberant red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer day. On the palate it shows a heavenly balance, an absolutely perfect freshness - what depth and dimension there is in this wine! That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, because this Haut-Brion is almost secretly one of the greatest Bordeaux of this millennium .
