Description

Château Haut Brion 2020 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Located in Graves, Pessac-Léognan, Château Haut-Brion was awarded First Growth status in the 1855 Classification of Bordeaux and is undoubtedly amongst the very finest producers in Bordeaux. The 2020 vintage is a blend composed of 42.8% Merlot, 39.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17.5% Cabernet Franc, which reached an ABV of 15%. The hot and dry climate during the summer slowed growth, allowing for perfectly healthy grapes to ripen slowly at harvest and producing rich wines with a wonderful freshness. The 2020 grand vin is presented here in stunning Impériale (600cl) format.
