It belongs to the Pessac-Léognan appellation, to the north of the Graves wine-growing region. Château Haut-Brion is the only wine to be both First Growth from the 1855 classification and Classified Growth of the Graves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was a superlative year marked by extreme weather conditions, but despite this, the harvests were gathered serenely. Picking began early, but the pace was slowed by the drought and here patience was essential. Rare, tiny grapes, but with extraordinary potential. Although the year was interspersed with contrasts, one thing is very clear: 2025 is developing to become one of Haut-Brion's greatest vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hue is deep red, vividly strong in colour, showing varying purple glints. The first nose is subtle, very restrained and elegant, loyal to the identity of Haut-Brion. Then come floral scents, followed by hints of black fruit, cherry and even a touch of eucalyptus. The wine feels precise; it unfolds its structure, whose compactness is almost textured and extremely graceful. Fruity freshness mid-palate, enhanced by delicate tannins, contributes to an awakening of all the senses. The wine then continues to develop, spheric, omnipresent, with powerfulness and persistency that create an absolute explosion of flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic tasting notes: (2025 vintage) \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Haut-Brion delivers a red with great structure and length and superb intensity and power. It is a full-bodied red with character and depth, giving it endless length. Muscular yet polished and agile. Juicy at the end. 62% merlot, 26.2% cabernet sauvignon and 11.8% cabernet franc.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- James Suckling (98-99\/100)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate rim brightening. Nuances of cassis, tobacco, delicate hints of precious wood, some cardamom and cinnamon, blackberry jam, very multi-faceted bouquet. Complex, elegant, ripe heart cherries, dark wild berry confit, fine, ripe tannins, rich in finesse and elegant, has great length and elegance, already appears well developed and will quickly guarantee great drinking pleasure.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Falstaff (98\/100)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"At the moment, it takes a bit of effort to fully appreciate the aromatics. But with swirling, you find flowers, Cuban cigars, black pit fruits, blackberries, smoke, mesquite, blue fruits, herbs, and exotic spices. On the palate, the fruit purity will knock out any wine taster. Elegant, silky, long, and precise, the seamless finish starts slowly and builds from there. Seamless in its delivery, this is a sublime vintage for Haut Brion. The wine was shaped in part by its dry summer and August rains, which lowered the ABV level and provided more lift to the concentrated berries. The wine blends 62% Merlot, 26.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11.8% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV, 3.7 pH. Picking took place September 1 - September 18. Yields were 29 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2075.\" \u003cstrong\u003e- Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (98\/100)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Haut-Brion","offers":[{"title":"Bottle (750ml)","offer_id":46098817646765,"sku":"25-BRION-20202RR","price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/8829\/8669\/files\/ChateauHaut-BrionPessac-Leognan.webp?v=1781045515","url":"https:\/\/symbolicwines.com\/products\/chateau-haut-brion-pessac-leognan-minimum-order-6-bottle-case-futures-2025ftr","provider":"Symbolic Wines®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
