Allary Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan 2009

CRITIC REVIEWS

James Suckling

Made next to the great Haut-Brion. Aromas of cocoa and milk chocolate with dark fruits. Full body, with silky tannins and a polished finish. Very refined tannins. So long and pretty. Class. Try in 2017.

Two years ago I referred to this as Le Passion Haut Brion, but that name was sacrificed to avoid a potential lawsuit. This is a tiny jewel of a vineyard (just over three acres) right in the heart of the Haut Brion vineyard. Not surprisingly, the wine is stunning. Made from 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, with Stephane Derenoncourt as the consultant, the wine displays loads of classic smoky tobacco notes intermixed with wet gravel, black currants, graphite and plum. The wine has great fruit, beautiful texture, medium to full-bodied roundness, and a gentle, velvety-textured, subtle finish. As one might expect, this beauty has some of the character of the surrounding historic estate of Haut Brion.
