ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2011 vintage of Chteau Haut-Brion was crafted from a blend of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Cabernet Franc, with each varietal being hand-harvested and meticulously sorted. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel vats, with a maceration period to extract color and flavor. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new, allowing for the integration of the oak and the development of its complexity. The 2011 vintage has shown excellent maturity, and its harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannin indicates a long aging potential.
