Château Haut-Brion 2021 - Bordeaux, France

Producing wines once enjoyed by King Charles ii and Thomas Jefferson, Château Haut-Brion is the oldest estate of Bordeaux – the land heritage for growing grapes even goes back to Roman times. The eponymous Premier Cru Grand Classé evokes this rich legacy throughout every vintage, with 2021 revealing a truly alluring character. With notes of violets and fruit, its palate comes to life with dark berries, blackcurrant, cigar smoke and blood orange peel, energetic yet always composed.
