This really shows Haut Brion character, with black currants, blackberries, iodine, oyster shells and stones on the nose and palate. It’s medium- to full-bodied with firm yet open-grained tannins that are rather chewy and muscular. 55.5% merlot, 40.9% cabernet sauvignon and 3.6% cabernet franc. A wine for the cellar. Best after 2028.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

Vinous Media

The 2023 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is quite the powerhouse. Ample and potent to the core, Le Clarence is a standout. Black cherry fruit, mocha, gravel, incense, licorice and chocolate fill out the wine's ample, full-bodied frame. Even with all of its natural intensity, Le Clarence is quite polished in its tannin profile.

A serious, focused effort, the 2023 Le Clarence De Haut-Brion offers blackcurrants, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, graphite, and damp earth on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and a great finish. It's more firm and structured compared to the La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion and will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. Drink 2028-2048.

Wine Advocate

Floral and vibrant, the 2023 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion opens with aromas of violet, peony, lilac, dark berries and dark cherries. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping, it is framed by velvety tannins and concludes with a long, precise and perfumed finish. As is often the case at this address, the élevage has brought additional clarity and purity to the wine’s profile.

The Wine Independent

90-92 2023 La Clarence de Haut-Brion has lots of tight, dark and strong fruit and a fine layer of peppery tannins. It is a promising wine that will need at least 5 years in the cellar to come around but everything seems to be in place.

Winery Notes

Prior to the 2007 vintage, Chateau Haut-Brion's second-label wine: 'Le Clarence de Haut-Brion' was known as 'Chateau Bahans Haut-Brion'.
