Château Haut-Brion 2001

The Château Inside the City

Château Haut-Brion 2001 · Bordeaux, France · tasted 22 January 2021

The oldest name among the first growths, and the only one the city of Bordeaux swallowed whole. The 2001 — forever in the shadow of 2000 — was at twenty years exactly what the vintage's defenders promised: smoke, stone, and silk.
