2006 Chateau Haut-Brion – Classical Depth from Pessac-Leognan
The 2006 Chateau Haut-Brion offers a refined and expressive interpretation of this historic First Growth, shaped by the estate’s gravel-rich soils and meticulous vineyard practices. Situated in the heart of Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Brion is renowned for producing wines that combine structure, aromatic complexity, and long-term aging potential, qualities clearly evident in this vintage.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals layers of blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, graphite, and warm earth. On the palate, the wine is composed and finely structured, delivering dark fruit, subtle smoke, and mineral tones framed by polished tannins. Fresh acidity brings lift and precision, leading to a long, balanced finish that continues to evolve gracefully with time.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and vinified parcel by parcel, followed by aging in new French oak barrels. The 2006 growing season favored steady maturation, resulting in a wine of clarity, depth, and measured power.
Investment & Collectibility
While often overshadowed by surrounding benchmark years, the 2006 Haut-Brion has earned increasing recognition for its balance and reliability. Its pedigree as a First Growth and proven aging curve support sustained collector interest and long-term value.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2006 Bordeaux vintage produced wines of structure and classic proportion. At Haut-Brion, these conditions translated into a nuanced expression marked by restraint and longevity.
