Le CLARENCE de HAUT-BRION
Second red wine from Château Haut-Brion
- 2024 Futures
- Pessac-Léognan red
Second red wine of Haut-Brion, named as such since 2008 (previously Ch.Bahans Haut-Brion). To underline the stylistic kinship with his big brother, Le Clarence is put in the same very special bottle.
J-M Quarin : 93/100 « Couleur très sombre, aux reflets pourpres et grenat. Nez moyennement aromatique, fruité et fumé, devenant plus fin et plus subtil à l'agitation du verre. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement savoureux au milieu, accompagné d'un joli toucher et du goût, le vin s'achève savoureux et long. »
Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is a very beautiful second wine. Dark and pliant, with terrific nuance, the 2024 is a delight. Cabernet Franc is quite high in this vintage. It's a style that works so well. All the elements are impecably balanced. Time in the glass brings out notable aromatic presence and body."
Vinous (N. Martin): 89-91/100 "The 2024 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion has a tad more cohesion and nuance compared to the La Chapelle de la Mission at the moment, with bright blackberry and bilberry scents laced with oyster shells. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannins, satisfying fluidity and a minerally finish. This will do nicely."
La Revue du Vin de France : 90-92/100 « Mince et étiré, longiligne, très frais, avec des tanins légèrement à vif mais savoureux et sains, le second vin du château Haut-Brion fait parfaitement écho à son grand frère. »
