Chateau Haut Brion - Haut Brion 1977 1er Grand Cru Classé

Château Haut-Brion from Château Haut-Brion is a special French wine, produced in the village of Pessac-Léognan near Bordeaux. This ranks among the five oldest Grands Crus of Bordeaux, boasting an invaluable historical heritage of around 5 centuries. It was founded in 1533 by Jean de Pontac and soon became the undisputed protagonist of the rich tables of the European monarchs of the time; in 1663 it was Samuel Pepys who further launched it on the market, spreading the rumor of having drunk an extraordinary French wine, never encountered before that moment. As time passed, the quality of this wine remained undisputed and became further established, becoming the greatest wine in French and European winemaking history in 1959. Today the idea has not changed and this product is still a champion.

The Château Haut-Brion vineyard is located in the Pessac area and is considered a real flagship of the A.O.C. Pessac-Leognan. The soil is exceptional, composed in particular of multicolored "graves" which give elegance and character to the final product; Once the manual harvest is completed, alcoholic fermentation takes place in the cellar in steel tanks. Refines for 18 months in barriques, mostly first passage.
