100 Robert Parker
The 2016 Haut-Brion is blended of 56% Merlot, 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.5% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose is at once profound and arresting, offering drop-dead gorgeous Morello cherries, lilacs and red rose scents with a core of Black Forest cake, warm blackcurrants and blueberry preserves plus wafts of sandalwood and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the elegantly crafted palate is completely packed with intense floral, mineral and cassis-laced flavors with a firm frame of very finely pixelated tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and achingly stunning.

This is a monument for Haut-Brion and reminds me of the great 1998 but in a modern and bright style. Full-bodied, very tannic and superbly structured yet always agile and vivid. Its energy and dynamic nature grabs you by the shoulder and tells you it’s great. Staggeringly precise. It can’t get better than this, can it?

Large and in charge, this has a prodigious core of steeped plum, black currant and loganberry fruit flavors that show both compote and coulis aspects. While that steeps, this delivers a sturdy frame of roasted mesquite, smoldering tobacco and incense, surrounding a muscular spine of worn cedar and tar. Still rather backward, this will be showing well when most others from the vintage have had their day. Best from 2025 through 2045. 11,600 cases made. — JM

Château Haut Brion
Au nombre des quatre propriétés classées Premier Cru lors du fameux classement de 1855, le Château Haut-Brion se singularise d’autant plus qu’il est le seul à être implanté hors du Médoc. L’antériorité viticole du château est très ancienne, plus encore que celle de ses homologues répertoriés Grands Crus Classés du Médoc. Cette singularité en fait donc la véritable idole des Graves. Située en périphérie sud-ouest du centre ville de Bordeaux, la propriété, d’une superficie de 51 hectares, figure dans l’aire d’appellation Pessac-Léognan. Son vignoble fait la part belle aux cépages rouges, seuls trois hectares étant plantés des variétés sémillon et sauvignon blanc, à la base de ses blancs au boisé léger. La propriété appartient de nos jours aux mêmes propriétaires que le Château La Mission Haut-Brion et La Tour Haut-Brion. A la tête du domaine, le Prince Robert Dillon du Luxembourg représente la famille Dillon. Comparée aux Premiers Crus plus importants en superficie, la production du Château Haut-Brion est certes relativement faible, mais ses vins rouges et blancs sont magnifiques. Son second vin, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, rivalise avec le Grand Vin de Haut-Brion, pourtant exquis, dont la proportion de merlot est élevée. Le château offre également un Haut-Brion blanc, fermenté en barrique, de même qu’un second blanc, issu des vignobles de Haut-Brion et de la Mission Haut-Brion, qui porte le nom de La Clarté de Haut-Brion.
