Critics’ scores and tasting notes
“The 2025 Haut-Brion is, as usual, more reserved and austere at this stage than La Mission, unwinding in the glass to reveal notions of dark wild berries mingled with spices, pencil leaf and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s built around a multidimensional core of fruit framed by structuring yet well-integrated tannins, delivering a notably controlled expression of power and concluding with a long, perfumed, subtly ethereal finish. While still tightly knit at this stage, it possesses considerable depth—IPT (an alaytical measure of tannic concentration) levels exceeding 100, rarely observed—that is perfectly controlled and will require extended cellaring. Recent refinements in the estate’s approach, notably in viticulture, are translating into fruit of greater balance and freshness, even under the warm, dry conditions of 2025. It stands as one of the more impressive renditions of Haut-Brion in recent years.”
In the 1855 classification, Château Haut-Brion was distinguished as a Premier Grand Cru Classé, becoming the only representative of the Graves appellation among the greatest grands crus of Bordeaux. This recognition was confirmed in 1959 in the official classification of Graves wines. Since 1935, the estate has belonged to the Clarence Dillon group. It is now chaired by Prince Robert of Luxembourg, a descendant of the founder. Located in the commune of Pessac, within the Bordeaux conurbation, the vineyard of Château Haut-Brion enjoys a particularly singular terroir. The estate covers around 51 hectares in a single block. It lies on two large ridges of Quaternary Günzian gravel, rich in quartz and framed by two streams. On this land, 48 hectares are devoted to the red varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, while 3 hectares are planted with Sémillon and Sauvignon for the whites. The average age of the vines is around forty years. The wines stand out for their elegance and the exceptional finesse of their tannins. Tasting them reveals a remarkable balance and is a particularly memorable experience for lovers of fine wine.
