Winemakers Notes
Haut-Brion, a legendary estate The vineyards of Haut-Brion have flourished on gravelly slopes since the 1st century AD. In 1521, Haut-Brion became the first vineyard to be named after its terroir rather than its owner or parish, introducing the concept of a "Grand Vin". Recognised as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it is the only wine outside the Médoc to be so classified and the only one to be double classified as a Grand Cru de Graves, underlining its uniqueness. In 1935, Clarence Dillon acquired Château Haut-Brion and restored it to its former glory. Today, the 4th generation of the family, represented by Prince Robert de Luxembourg, continues his extraordinary vision, bold and courageous. The estate faces La Mission Haut-Brion and shares with it a vast terrace of fine gravel known as Haut-Brion, which appears on ancient maps and charters. The vineyard covers 51 hectares, 48 of which are planted with red grape varieties and 3 with white. Today, the wines produced annually at Haut-Brion embody the full essence of this exceptional terroir.
