Description
Le Clarence De Haut Brion is the Chateau Haut Brion second vin. This Premier Cru Classé is probably one of the oldest wine producer in Bordeaux. Château Haut-Brion is the only property from outside the Médoc to be included in the 1855 Classification and its viticultural history can be traced back further than its Médoc First Growth counterparts. Situated in what is now Pessac-Léognan, the property finds itself in the suburbs of the ever-encroaching city of Bordeaux.
After falling into a state of disrepair the estate was purchased in 1935 by Clarence Dillon, an American financier, and since then it has enjoyed a steady and continual resurgence back to the position of one of the most renowned in all of Bordeaux. Year after year Haut-Brion produces profound, exceptional wines.
