Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru 2023

97–100
/100

52,3 procent Merlot, 38,6 procent Cabernet Sauvignon og 9,1 procent Cabernet Franc. Alkoholindholdet er 14,3 volumenprocent. 2023 Haut-Brion har en meget kraftigere næse end La Mission. Fyldig blomme, masser af sorte kirsebær, brombær og mørk, krydret lakrids. Lidt enebær og hyldebær underneden. Smukt tæt og sort. Derefter en kødfuld mund med røg og træ. Rige sorte kirsebær og brombær, men meget fint. Mere finesse end vibrationer, damp og tryk. En elegant balance, der minder meget om 2016. Fin og lang ... Sammenlignet med den højtflyvende La Mission mangler den lidt ultrafinesse og delikatesse. Vinen er lidt grov og overraskende tanninholdig. En kraftig Haut-Brion uden at være fed. Vellavet og imponerende, endnu en stor vin i 2023 i en særlig stil. *** Château Haut Brion ejes af den amerikanske Dillon-familie. Prins Robert af Luxembourg, et oldebarn af Dillon, har været ansvarlig for driften af slottet siden 2001.

Årgangsrapport

Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

A blend of 52.3% Merlot, 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9.1% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Haut-Brion has a pH of 3.7 and a deep garnet-purple color. It is quite closed to begin, needing a lot of patient swirling to coax out notes of plum preserves, black cherry compote, and wild blueberries, leading to perfumed hints of peonies, crushed stones, rose bud tea, and licorice, with a touch of wood smoke. The medium to full- bodied palate delivers black and blue fruit layers that shimmy and swirl in the mouth with jaw-dropping energy, accented by mineral and exotic spice notes and supported with a firm backbone and plush, plush tannins, finishing with a breathtaking firework display. Very clever wine!

Jane Anson om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

This is an exceptional Haut-Brion, offering juice and elegant balance alongside classically structured layers, generous but restrained, sense of architecture and building blocks of a truly great Left Bank wine. Rippling with sinewy muscles, juicy and controlled, packed with cocoa bean, espresso, liouqorice root, but none of these flavours dominate, knitted together, with a vertical lift. 100% new oak, Jean-Philippe Delmas director, Jean-Philippe Masclef technical director, no outside consultant.

Suckling om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

This is tight, yet so upright and proper, with a vertical line of fine tannin that runs true and deep. It’s medium- to full-bodied with an exquisite texture and a long, structured finish. 52.3% merlot, 38.6% cabernet sauvignon and 9.1% cabernet franc.

Decanter om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

A stand out wine from Haut-Brion this year and one of the most charming Primeur samples from the estate. A little sombre on the nose, quiet with dark fruit, blackcurrant and brambles. Not so open on the nose, but this wows on the palate - rich, dense for the vintage, weighty in the mouth, clearly ripe and so filling. Chewy and alive, this is brilliant with a buzz of acidity, a sharp, sour, tartness but all so excellently delivered. So charming and so cuddly, this wine wants you to adore it. Bright and voluptuous, and not many can say that in this vintage. Really so great and still with chocolate, mint, pepper, raspberries, and floral notes all the way through. A complete knock out because it has flesh, juice, brightness and style. 3.7ph 4.3 acidity 80 IPT - second highest year after 2010 for the concentration. 42% grand vin production. A potential 100-point wine.

Tim Atkin om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

A little more open and brighter than La Mission with very vivid purple fruit scents and great depth. The oak is a little more subdued and less obvious. Very dense and enticing. In the mouth the wine is super rich and very concentrated with powerful and profound tannins, but beautifully balanced by the richness of fruit. Multi-layered and already very silky with a beautiful seamless texture and an extraordinarily long finish. Very complete and seductive this year and Haut Brion definitely edges it over La Mission for me this year. As it does for Jean-Philippe Delmas, and as is also the case for the whites from the two domaines.

Colin Hay om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

(Pessac-Léognan; 52.3% Merlot; 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon; 9.1% Cabernet Franc; pH 3.7; 14.6% alcohol; tasted at Haut-Brion). Aromatically restrained and yet enticing and gorgeously tempting. A little introspective and intimate. It invites you in but only for a first visit as it’s not yet ready to share all of its multiple secrets. Texturally sublime. I love the intensely dark berry fruitedness – mulberry, bramble, fruits of the forest. There’s a peony florality too. And more wild briary fruit notes with aeration. Graphite more than La Mission’s cedar. Gorgeous texturally. Floaty and crystalline despite the concentration which is substantial. So soft and caressing. So sapid and juicy in the mid-palate. Quite exceptional and, for me, at a level above La Mission in this vintage. A wine of grace, charm and quiet authority. Beguiling and seductive.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

Even the nose is vibrant this year. You instantly sense it in the perfume with its flowers, red currants, smoke, spice, and cherries. The wine is powerful, yet reserved, long, intense, silky, and vivacious. The fruit has this lift that elevates on the palate. There is richness, elegance, and purity here. But, what is most striking is that on the palate, the wine moves in every direction, covering both sides, as well as the roof of your mouth as the wealth of fruit lingers for over 60 seconds. Part of the success of the vintage is due to July, with its cloudy skies, providing protection from the sun, helping to keep alcohol levels down. There is also less green harvesting taking place this year. It is important to note that not only are the harvest dates becoming earlier here, they are also finishing later. More attention is paid to finding phenolic maturity on a parcel by harvest basis, adding nuance and balance. In the cellars, the extraction was soft, at lower temperatures, adding the elegance in the wine. The wine blends 52.3% Merlot, 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9.1% Cabernet Franc, 14.6% ABV. 3.7 pH. Harvesting took place, September 4 - October 4. Only 42% of the harvest was placed into the grand Vin. Drink from 2030-2065. 97-99 Pts.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The 2023 Haut-Brion was picked at the same time as the La Mission Haut-Brion, albeit the secateurs sheathed one day later, on October 6. The nose is less immediate than the La Mission and the fruit is a little darker: blackcurrant, juniper, hints of black olive and a light cedar scent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip and tension. This has superb energy, presenting a crescendo of flavors toward a complex and persistent finish that lingers in the mouth. There is real pedigree to this First Growth, and it will certainly give 30 to 40 years of drinking pleasure.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The Grand Vin 2023 Château Haut-Brion checks in as 52.3% Merlot, 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It's more focused and tight compared to its sibling, the La Mission Haut-Brion, but it has riveting purity in its black raspberry, currant, smoke, leafy tobacco, and scorched earth-like aromas and flavors. It's rich and full-bodied, with building tannins and a level of purity that's just about off the charts. As with most vintages of Haut-Brion, it should be given at least a decade of bottle age.

Parker om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The 2023 Haut-Brion exhibits a more Cabernet-inflected personality than the richer 2022, offering up a deep but youthfully reserved bouquet of dark wild berries, licorice, smoke and pencil lead mingled with notions of cigar wrapper, nicely integrated new oak and spices. Full-bodied, deep and velvety, it’s layered and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit structured around abundant but velvety tannins, concluding with a long, controlled finish. Somewhat reminiscent of the estate's successful 2006, it's a blend of 52.3% Merlot, 38.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9.1% Cabernet Franc.
