Château Haut Brion 1er cru classé, Graves

Château Haut-Brion holds a unique position as the sole First Growth outside the Médoc. Managed by Domaine Clarence Dillon, the vineyard sits on high-quartz gravel soils that dictate its particular blend. Jean-Philippe Delmas utilises a high proportion of merlot alongside cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. This technical variation yields a distinct, non-Médoc profile of warm earth, smoke, cigar box, and blackcurrant, guaranteeing prodigious longevity.
