Château Haut-Brion holds a unique place in Bordeaux history as the first vineyard to be named after its terroir rather than its owner, introducing the world to the concept of a “Grand Vin” as early as 1521.

Classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in 1855, they are the only estate outside the Médoc to receive this honour, and also a Grand Cru de Graves. Haut-Brion stands alone in its dual recognition and historical significance.

Critic Scores

99 // Alexandre Ma

"The 2024 Château Haut-Brion moves like a shadow in the dark – a tender assassin whose blade never glints, but always lands true. It makes no sound, yet its presence ripples through the silence. It does not speak, but when it draws near, your pulse begins to race. With alcohol back at 13.2% abv, the core of the wine is expressed with even greater precision. A three-step sorting process: first optical, then Tri densimétrique, followed by meticulous hand selection, works like a surgeon’s blade. Each cut is sharper than the last, reducing yields to just 28 hl/ha. But the reward is unmatched purity, marking a legendary moment for the 2024 vintage. The advantage of this early-ripening terroir has come into full play in a cool, rainy vintage, resulting in not only layered aromas but also greater richness on the palate. The juicy scent of wild blueberry emerges first, only to be sealed in place by an inky density. On the palate, it feels like a black lotus rising slowly from the lake’s depths – silent, deep, and glowing gracefully under the moonlight. Before long, this wine is sure to leave a bold and unforgettable mark in the history of Château Haut-Brion. - Alexandre Ma"

98 // James Suckling

"This year, the style of Haut Brion shows through with transparency, beautiful balance and precision. Fine austerity, with excellent minerality, dark olives and red and dark berries. Structured on the mid-palate. Beautiful depth for the vintage, with really fine-grained tannins and a lengthy finish that lingers. So much vibrancy and finesse. A classic vintage. - James Suckling"

98 // Bettane & Desseauve

"A complex and pure nose, distinguished by ripe fruit, hints of rose and smoke. Beautiful depth, with well-rounded and elegant tannins, combining freshness and length in perfect harmony. Very successful and in keeping with its style."

Chateau Haut Brion

Chateau Haut-Brion is the only First Growth Chateau of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification located outside the Medoc AOC. It finds its home in the Pessac-Leognan AOC north of the Graves region. First documentation of the estate dates back to 1525 when the property came to Jean de Pontac through his new wife's dowry. After a series of different owners, the estate was purchased by Clarence Dillon, an American banker in 1935. Remarkably, it still remains in the Dillon family today. A curious departure from its counterparts in the Medoc AOC, Chateau Haut Brion is Merlot focused. Of the 48 hectares under vine, almost 42% are planted to Merlot, 45% to Cabernet Sauvignon and the remainder to Cabernet Franc. The dissimilarities continue in the fact that Haut Brion also produces one of the world's most esteemed white wines, Haut Brion Blanc, a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.Each variety is planted to its best-suited soil type resulting in Cabernet Sauvignon on gravel and Merlot on clay, while the white varieties thrive on the sandier soils of the estate.
