Château Haut-Brion

Find your vintage of Château Haut-Brion for sale in London at Arden Fine Wines.

In 1855, the highest distinction of Médoc wines, Premier Cru Classé (First Growth), honoured Château Haut Brion.

In due course, Château Haut Brion became the only non-Médoc domain to join the Médoc wine list and the Graves wine classification.

Interestingly, historians trace the first mention of vineyards of Haut-Brion back to 1423.

Subsequently, Jean de Pontac founded Haut-Brion as a wine estate in 1525.

Under Pontac’s leadership, the wine, in fact, first bore the name of this noble and respectable family.

As a result, as its reputation grew, the estate’s name eventually replaced that of its owners.

The English diarist Samuel Pepys noted on Friday 10th April 1663 a visit to the “Royall Oak Tavern, in Lumbard Street…

And here drank a sort of French wine, called Ho Bryan…

That hath a good and most particular taste that I never met with.”
