Chateau Haut-Brion Premier Grand Cru Classé

2009 Bordeaux Red Blend

Chateau Haut-Brion Premier Grand Cru Classé from the esteemed Bordeaux region is a remarkable red blend that exemplifies the artistry of winemaking. With its deep ruby color, this wine showcases a complex bouquet of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum, intertwined with subtle hints of tobacco and earth. The palate reveals a rich and full-bodied structure, elegantly balanced by lively acidity that adds vibrancy to its overall character. The tannins are notable yet polished, providing a firm backbone that harmonizes beautifully with the wine's fruit intensity. This exquisite vintage is dry, making it a perfect companion for a range of hearty dishes or an indulgent evening of savoring fine wine. Chateau Haut-Brion is not only a testament to quality but also a celebration of the unique terroir that defines its Bordeaux roots.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
