• Cellaring: 2017 - 2035
•  Degustation by R. Parker on 25th february 2009 : "The 2006 Haut-Brion performed even better from bottle than it did from barrel. Sixty-four percent of the production went into this wine, and while it displays the vintage’s powerful tannins and structure, it possesses superb concentration, and the minerality/scorched earth notes of a great Haut-Brion. Medium to full-bodied, with perhaps not quite the fleshiness of the 2005 or 2000, it is built more along the lines of the 1998 and 1996. It is a brilliant effort displaying sensational purity, texture, and length that should be exceptionally long-lived."

  TERROIR

 Château Haut Brion 2006 is a blend of 57% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

 The 2006 vintage is the result of a contrasting climate. During this extraordinary year, the weather conditions were changeable, going from one extreme to another, throughout the year until the end of the harvest. Fortunately, in this context, the spring and summer were generally warm and dry.  One hundred seasonal workers, working day after day for three months, allowed the winemaker to serenely reach the peak of each grape variety and each parcel.

 SERVICE 

 Château Haut Brion is best served at 15°C. For wines that have not been aged in barrels, decanting is not necessary. Aeration in a carafe is recommended when the wine is young and has been aged in oak barrels. For older wines, it is preferable to decant them for a few hours before serving them. The time to open in advance will be determined at the time of tasting, depending on how the wine evolves in the glass. When decanting, be careful not to drop the deposit in the decanter, it is never pleasant to have small pieces in the mouth when tasting.
