In the mouth
The palate opens with juicy fruit, develops savoury mid-palate complexity, and finishes with seductive amplitude and refined structure. A wine of considerable charm and balance.
Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2020 demonstrates the harmonious balance and aromatic richness expected from this prestigious second wine. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats, sauced dishes, and aged cheeses. A wine that will appeal equally to serious collectors and those discovering fine Bordeaux for the first time.

CHATEAU HAUT-BRION
Planted on the gravel ridges of Pessac in the Gironde, Château Haut-Brion is the sole château outside the Médoc to have been classified Premier Grand Cru in 1855, across 51 hectares of Pessac-Léognan. Founded in 1525 and acquired in 1935 by American banker Clarence Dillon, the château is today directed by Domaine Clarence Dillon SAS under the chairmanship of Prince Robert de Luxembourg. Its long-lived reds and precisely crafted dry whites stand as an absolute reference point for Bordeaux. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the singular character of its graves terroir, the remarkable consistency of its vintages, and the position it has held, across five centuries, at the summit of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. An essential reference for any serious lover of Bordeaux.
