Chateau Haut-Brion 2022

One of Bordeaux's greatest wines, Château Haut-Brion reveals extraordinary aromas of cassis, blackberry, cigar box, graphite, cedar, smoked earth, and exotic spice. Powerful yet effortlessly elegant, it delivers silky tannins, exceptional complexity, and legendary aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, truffle dishes, aged Comté, or wild mushroom risotto.

98 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

A blockbuster expression of Château Haut-Brion, the 2022 is crafted from 53.6% Merlot, 35.4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc. Slightly deeper in color and more masculine than La Mission Haut-Brion, it reveals smoky blackcurrants, scorched earth, graphite, violets and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers extraordinary purity, layered concentration, polished tannins and a spectacularly long, multidimensional finish.

98 Points - James Suckling

One of the deepest and most powerful Haut-Brions in recent memory. Full-bodied and intensely structured, it unfolds with layers of currants, black truffles, cedar, walnuts, dark mushrooms, dried thyme and crushed stone. Muscular yet refined, it drives across the palate with remarkable depth and an exceptionally long, seemingly endless finish.

97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Haut-Brion, bottled in May 2024, surpasses already lofty expectations. It opens with an intricate bouquet of dark berries, pencil lead, cedar box, rose petals, spices and finely integrated oak. Full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it combines a powerful tannic framework with an energetic core of fruit, finishing with youthful grip and exceptional aging potential. Time will reward this magnificent vintage.

96 Points - Decanter

Fragrant aromas of milk chocolate, blackcurrants, ripe black cherries and delicate florals lead into a sleek, confident palate. More restrained than charming at this stage, it balances concentrated fruit with freshness, saline minerality and finely integrated toasted spice. Precise, powerful and beautifully structured, it finishes with remarkable focus and persistence.
