Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru 2025

/100

62 procent Merlot, 26 procent Cabernet Sauvignon og 12 procent Cabernet Franc. Alkoholindholdet er 13,5 volumenprocent. 75 procent ny barrique. Næsten sort i glasset, ligesom La Mission. Endnu mindre aggressiv og rundere i næsen. Et fløjlstæppe af overdådighed med sort og blå frugt! Meget mere levende i munden end La Mission. Masser af mineralitet, masser af salt, vibrerende sten. Den mangler lidt linearitet. Det er en rig, overdådig vin, men uden den helt store linje. Rige, bløde, overdådige tanniner. Intet er grønt, alt er fuldt modent. Salt vibration med appelsinskal og let eksotisme i eftersmagen. En ekstremt god, overdådig Haut-Brion, der er betydeligt federe end den allerede overdådige La Mission. Alt i alt har Clarence Dillon-imperiet produceret to virkelig kraftfulde vine her. Jeg synes, at begge er mere end gode, Haut-Brion er hverken bedre eller dårligere end La Mission, bare lidt anderledes og en af de bedste nogensinde her. *** 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.

Parker om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The 2025 Haut-Brion is, as usual, more reserved and austere at this stage than La Mission, unwinding in the glass to reveal notions of dark wild berries mingled with spices, pencil leaf and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s built around a multidimensional core of fruit framed by structuring yet well-integrated tannins, delivering a notably controlled expression of power and concluding with a long, perfumed, subtly ethereal finish. While still tightly knit at this stage, it possesses considerable depth—IPT (an alaytical measure of tannic concentration) levels exceeding 100, rarely observed—that is perfectly controlled and will require extended cellaring. Recent refinements in the estate’s approach, notably in viticulture, are translating into fruit of greater balance and freshness, even under the warm, dry conditions of 2025. It stands as one of the more impressive renditions of Haut-Brion in recent years.

Alexandre Ma om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

To taste Château Haut-Brion 2025 is to turn the pages of a novel shaped by the tides of time, where lives rise and fall, and where beauty, solitude, desire, and fate are quietly gathered into a single glass. It moves as a restrained force held deep within, and like a river in constant flow, carrying a quiet undercurrent of emotion and a dreamlike landscape in full bloom. Water lily, mulberry, and tamarind unfold in soft succession, touched by a thread of agarwood, leading the senses further inward, each step opening new spaces for imagination. The violet note moves beyond the realm of simple florals, taking on a regal presence that reflects and amplifies the wine’s expanding sense of depth. The 2025 vintage is destined to become a defining chapter in the history of Château Haut-Brion, and may well stand, in time, alongside the great 1989.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

The 2025 Haut-Brion was picked from September 1 (slightly later than La Mission) to September 18 at 29 hl/ha. Aged in 59% new oak, this has a very pure and elegant bouquet with ebullient brambly red fruit, crushed stone, potpourri and touches of Earl Grey. Wonderful delineation and a little more refined than, say, the 2020 or 2022. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, and there is more complexity here than La Mission, more depth and minéralité. Fresh and marine-tinged towards the finish that makes you want to come back. This year, the First Growth has put a bit of distance between itself and La Mission.

Tim Atkin om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

Very rich with rather more obvious oak to scent than La Mission on this showing, some cocoa and cinnamon, all lying on top of the classic Pessac-Léognan profile of tar, smoke, graphite and cassis. This is the very definition of restrained power, and affords excellent saline acidity to back up the lush fruit weight and depth. Usually there is a slight difference in quality between Haut Brion and La Mission, but not this year - the difference is more of style, Haut Brion is somehow a little more linear and precise, while La Mission is bolder and richer, at this stage anyway. Both are truly magnificent and a credit to the teams of Jean-Philippe Delmas and Philippe Masclef at the two properties.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Haut Brion 1er Cru

A Merlot-forward blend of 62% Merlot, 26.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11.8% Cabernet Franc aged in 60% new French oak, the 2025 Château Haut-Brion is slightly more dense and structured compared to its sibling, La Mission. Gorgeous black cherries, graphite, scorched earth, and smoke all define the bouquet, and on the palate it's remarkably pure, with polished, serious tannins, and incredible length. Its purity, concentration, and overall sense of class are riveting.
