Haut-Bages Liberal 2019

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.
