The Story

This second wine from the legendary 1855 Premier Cru Classé was renamed Le Clarence de Haut-Brion starting with the 2007 vintage, a tribute to Clarence Dillon, who acquired the estate in 1935. Earlier vintages - up to the beginning of the 20th century – carry the name Château Bahans Haut-Brion.

Written Notes

2007 was the first vintage for Haut Brion’s new second wine. The 2007 Le Clarence de Haut Brion effectively replaces the Bahans Haut Brion. It had a similar nose to the La Chapelle but was a bit more elegant and regal, still a bit chocolaty but less so. The palate was brighter and more vimful, possessing sawdust and cedar flavors and hints of citrus (91).

First vintage with the new name, formerly known as Bahans Haut-Brion. New bottle shape as well, the same as Haut-Brion itself. Unfortunately no picture available. Ruby. Some cassis, minerals, touch of coffee and unexpectedly deep for a second wine and for this vintage. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant, somewhat tender finish just makes it more loveable. Long.
