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.
Although it is not the most concentrated, Haut-Brion, on the other hand, stands out as the most noble of wines from Pessac.
Moreover, the industry recognises its longevity as unparalleled.
In addition, wine enthusiasts always find the silky tannins exceptional.
Furthermore, Château Haut-Brion claims the title of the oldest and yet the smallest of Premiers Grands Crus.
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.”
1975 red wine gift – Chateau Haut-Brion 1975
The 1975 Château Haut-Brion is a vintage red Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan appellation that has evolved gracefully and is considered one of the top wines of its challenging vintage.
While the 1975 vintage as a whole is known for being difficult, this wine is a notable exception.
The Dillon family’s investment in new oak and stainless steel, as well as a longer tradition of malolactic fermentation, resulted in a more elegant and supple wine.
Award-winning Arden Fine Wines in London offers this 1975 red wine gift for sale.
