Elégance serait le mot qui caractérise au mieux ce vin. Il existe des vins évidents venant spontanément vers vous et ceux dont la retenue vous oblige à faire la connaissance. Château Haut-Brion 2006 fait partie sans aucun doute de cette dernière catégorie. La couleur est très profonde. Le nez d'abord réservé se livre à vous doucement. Des notes minérales sont suivies par celles de fruits rouges, puis le terroir avec une dominante de grains de café fraîchement torréfiés. Sans vous en rendre compte, ce vin vous charme par son incroyable complexité. La bouche est comme de la soie. Une extraction des tanins adaptée à ce millésime a permis d'obtenir des tanins d'une étonnante suavité. La fraîcheur porte ces tanins vers une longueur sans fin. Il faudra, sans doute être patient pour pouvoir dans le futur profiter pleinement du potentiel de ce grand millésime de Haut Brion.
Robert Parker – 96/100 Drink 2017-2035 The 2006 Haut-Brion performed even better from bottle than it did from barrel. Sixty-four percent of the production went into this wine, and while it displays the vintage’s powerful tannins and structure, it possesses superb concentration, and the minerality/scorched earth notes of a great Haut-Brion. Medium to full-bodied, with perhaps not quite the fleshiness of the 2005 or 2000, it is built more along the lines of the 1998 and 1996. It is a brilliant effort displaying sensational purity, texture, and length that should be exceptionally long-lived. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035. Jancis Robinson – 18/20 Drink - 57% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc. The grand vin represents 59% of total production. Neal Martin – 94-96/100 Drink - Tasted at Haut Brion. Limpid, purple and black hue. A very ripe nose, a little muted at present but with aeration reveals blackberry, hedgerow, a touch of vanilla and black tea, Very good definition. Nose explodes after 25 minutes in glass. Full-bodied with grippy, filigree tannins (like La Mission), fine acidity. The persistency is superb, lingering over a minute in the mouth. Touch of tobacco, blackberry – all that is lacking is a flourish and flesh on the finish – just a little linear at the moment, although that may change after barrel ageing. Great potential. Tasted April 2007. |

Château Haut-Brion is a First Growth in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855. It is located in Pessac, Graves just one mile (2 km) from the city of Bordeaux. The vineyard consists of 109 acres (441,000 m²) producing 12,000 to 15,000 cases of wine each year. Located in the Graves region, it was the only non-Médoc estate to be included in the 1855 classification.The cultivation of the vineyard of the château Haut-Brion in the middle of town with jealous care, its ability to age more than its neighbours – up to about twenty years, or even more, the men working under the lead of Jean Delmas, the modern cuvier, the artisitcally lead winemaking…. All this contributes to the success of a domainn, producing the greatest red wines and rare white wines.
Average age of vines is 30 years.
Château Bahans Haut-Brion, although a second wine, has the same treatment throughout as Château Haut-Brion. Grown on the same land as Château Haut-Brion, Château Bahans Haut-Brion, profits from the same planting and harvest techniques, and has the advantage of the same rigorous selection and thoroughness in vinification as the "Grand Vin".
Bahans Haut-Brion is aged partly in new barrels and partly in barrels that have been used for the previous year's First Growth. Undoubtedly, this Second Wine of a First Classified
Growth, Château Bahans Haut-Brion, is a great wine on its own merits.
