Haut-Bages Liberal

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a 30-hectare Fifth Growth estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Its vineyards comprise Cabernet Sauvignon (c.75%) and Merlot (c.25%) and are widely dispersed across Pauillac, benefitting from an excellent terroir that consists of gravel on chalk, clay and limestone soils, with vines averaging 35 years in age. An eco-conscious estate, Château Haut-Bages was certified as organic in 2019, with the vineyards being confirmed biodynamic. An interest in biodiversity sees the planting of fruit, nut and cotton trees to attract animals to help fertilise the ground and to protect the vines from aphids that could damage the crop. The result of such sustainable methods sees the cultivation of a fragrant, complex and concentrated wine.

Like the most delightful sweet ink(!) and so refreshing! Round fruit disguises the tannins with lovely mineral lift and energy.

Complex nose of blackberries, currants, oyster shells, iodine, gravel, cloves, dried leaves and bark. Medium-bodied with firm, very fine tannins. Layered and serious. Extremely long in the finish. Classic Pauillac. 20% aged in concrete. 80% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2026.
