Does Château Haut-Brion produce a second wine, and is it worth buying?
Yes, the second wine of Château Haut-Brion is called Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, formerly known as Bahans Haut-Brion until 2007. It is produced from plots or vats deemed not to reach the level of the Grand Vin during the blending process. Far from being a lesser-quality wine, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion offers a genuine gateway into the world of the estate, with a similar style but a more accessible structure and faster maturity. For enthusiasts wishing to discover the DNA of Château Haut-Brion without waiting many years of cellaring, it is a particularly interesting option.
