Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac Grand Cru Classé 5ème, Bordeaux, France 2010

The wine shows a beautiful balance, velvety tannins and an unctuous body. It is brilliant, powerful, elegant and vibrant. A lot of minerality and salinity and by long and ripe tannins.

The name Haut-Bages refers to the topographical designation of the highest point of the locality of "Bages", historic parcels of land that are among the highest quality in the Pauillac appellation. It was the Libéral family who, at the beginning of the 18th century, added their name to that of the estate. Over time, these fine connoisseurs brought together the best terroirs in the south of the Pauillac appellation and were rewarded in 1855 with the title of Grand Cru Classé.

Château Haut-Bages Libéral, the iconic Classified Growth, Pauillac appellation, comes from a plot selection and benefits from a long ageing, in new barrels, amphorae and concrete vats.
