WHY: Château Haut-Brion is the oldest, continuously working winery and luxury brand in Bordeaux dating back to 1426 when wines were planted to produce wine for a local chapel that was founded by Menuts Monks. The 119-hectare vineyard of Château Haut-Brion has a terroir of deep gravel over clay and sand with a wide variety of minerals and quartz in the soils. Château Haut-Brion was the first Bordeaux chateau to produce truly age-worthy wine. They did this by introducing longer periods of aging in barrel, as well as being the first winery to continuously add wine to top off barrels, reducing the amount of oxygen exposure and allowing the wines to age longer and taste fresher. The estate was also among the first to take the wine off its lees and do pump overs during the barrel aging process.
