What are the best vintages of Château Haut-Brion to look for?
Among the great vintages that have forged the legend of Château Haut-Brion, several stand out particularly. The 1959 is often cited as one of the most sun-drenched and generous of the last century. The 1961, produced in an infinitesimal quantity following spring frost, is of a stunning concentration and depth. The years 1975, 1989 and 1990 also yielded wines of remarkable richness and longevity. More recently within our window, the 2000 and 2005 are unanimously praised by international critics as absolute reference wines, combining exceptional power, elegance and ageing potential.
