Since 1521, Château Haut-Brion has been etched in history as one of Bordeaux's oldest and most prestigious wineries, playing a direct role in the tradition and innovation that shaped the region's winemaking standards. Haut-Brion deserves recognition as the first Bordeaux winery to produce wines suitable for aging. Introducing more extended aging periods in barrels, Haut-Brion revolutionized winemaking with innovations that influenced the quality of Château's wines and the region. On the 50 hectares of Haut-Brion's vineyards, 45.4% Merlot, 43.9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9.7% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot are cultivated for red wines, reflecting an evolution over time. For whites, 3 hectares are dedicated to planting 51.5% Sémillon, 48.5% Sauvignon Blanc, and a small amount of Sauvignon Gris. The unique terroir of Haut-Brion is composed of gravel over clay and sand, enriched with various minerals and quartz in the soils. The strategically positioned vines make the most of the terrain's richness. Haut-Brion is where the past and present combine to create wines that offer a unique sensory experience.
