En fantastisk god og kompleks vin.
Andrevinen til Ch. Haut-Brion.

Ch. Haut-Brion og La Mission Haut-Brion er under samme eier. De er nabogårder og skilles av en vei. Andrevinene til chateauene lages og lagres på samme måte, likevel smaker man stor forskjell på vinene tross dette. Forskjellen ligger i jordsmonnet

Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out with cheery notes of fresh blackberries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of rose bud tea, cardamom, and fallen leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate is satiny and light on its feet, featuring red berry layers and chalky tannins, finishing lifted.

More intense and deeply coloured than the Chapelle, this is inky, cassis, spiced bilberry, with a slow build tannnic architecture, and the most gorgeous slate scrape. Exceptional vintage of this wine, one to savour.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is composed of 62.1% Merlot, 21.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1.5% Petit Verdot aging in 20% new oak. Deep garnet-purple in color, it needs a little coaxing to bring out scents of mulberries, plum preserves, and blackberry compote, plus hints of fallen leaves, Sichuan pepper, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and breezy, delivering crunchy black fruits and rounded tannins, finishing with impressive freshness.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2021 is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It is a little shy to start, soon unfurling to give glimpses at redcurrant jelly, raspberry pie, and juicy blackberries, giving way to hints of cinnamon toast and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate is bright and lively, with approachable, grainy tannins and vibrant red berry flavors, finishing on a minerally note.

Concentrated spice notes, seductive texture of slate and satin, with aromatics of incense, rosemary, cut herbs. These are big tannins that are fully ripe, cradling the blackberry fruit and christmas pudding spice. A serious wine but one with a smile on its face.

Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2019 is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a little coaxing to bring out notes of warm blackcurrants, black cherries, and mulberries, plus touches of pencil shavings and violets. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with bright, shimmery fruit, supported by fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and minerally.

Dufter av kirsebær, kjeller og fat. I munne både rød frukt, fat og mineraler. Relativt mye snerp men også en viss juicy karakter på denne. god konsentrasjon og pen ettersmak

Expert

A bit more depth than La Chapelle, fine oak, ripe sweet fruit, leather, tobacco. Dense but rounded palate fresh and vigorous with dry spices, tobacco and a long pure finish.

Sommelier

Grilled black fruits, strong liquorice bud, tar, grilled rosemary, good quality, kick on finish. Harvest September 8 to October 5, 35% new oak.

Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2014 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion delivers notes of sauteed herbs and black peppercorns opening out to a core of plum preserves and mossy tree bark with a waft of graphite. The medium-bodied palate has bags of energy and freshness, with a soft, well-played texture and lifted finish.

Not as charming as La Chapelle, but still an impresive 2nd wine that retains a sense of life and form. Campfire, soot, saffron and dark fruit, with energy and intent as it moves through the palate.

More abrupt in its tannic structure than La Chapelle, layered with rosemary, campfire, tar, smoke and spice. Needs a few more years and feels a little stubborn, certainly compared to the seductive depths of the main Haut-Brion wine.

Desverre såpe i 3 glass på rad så fikk ikke et godt inntrykk av vinen,

Vi prøver på ny

Duft av eik og mørke bær. Også noe lær. Fantastisk duft og gjør seg godt med minst en times luft. Nydelig farge. Anbefales!
