Located in Pessac-Léognan, south of the city of Bordeaux, the château is rather far removed from its counterparts, all of which are found in the Médoc. Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour are all in Pauillac, while Château Margaux is – unsurprisingly – in Margaux. The property is in the northern Graves on the outskirts of Bordeaux, and is now surrounded by encroaching buildings and roads. It is also flanked by La Mission Haut-Brion, which was bought by Haut-Brion's owners in the early 1980s. The majority of the estate's 51 hectares (126 acres) of vineyard is planted to red varieties with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot covering 48 hectares (118 acres) while three hectares (7.5 acres) are given over to Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The Haut-Brion cuvée tends to have more Merlot than the wines from the Medoc, with Cabernet Sauvignon in more of a supporting role (this is reflected in the vineyard). As such, Haut-Brion is more rounded and softer than other Left Bank wines. The château describes the wine as having an empyreumatic (charred organic matter) bouquet. The château's second wine has been known as La Clarence de Haut-Brion since 2007.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-08-25T14:30:39-04:00","created_at":"2023-08-24T15:08:47-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Château Haut-Brion","Region_Pessac-Leognan","RK2308","Source_VendorEmail0823","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":208900,"price_min":208900,"price_max":208900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43420336586890,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2006 | Château Haut-Brion | Pessac-Leognan","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":208900,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/18_de61ba18-d0dc-4ba9-b942-0e697a574545.png?v=1692904300"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/18_de61ba18-d0dc-4ba9-b942-0e697a574545.png?v=1692904300","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2006 | Château Haut-Brion | Pessac-Leognan at CaskCartel.com","id":25005840564362,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.329,"height":541,"width":178,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/18_de61ba18-d0dc-4ba9-b942-0e697a574545.png?v=1692904300"},"aspect_ratio":0.329,"height":541,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/18_de61ba18-d0dc-4ba9-b942-0e697a574545.png?v=1692904300","width":178}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2006 | Château Haut-Brion | Pessac-Leognan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDark, ruby-red in color \u0026amp; deeply pigmented, but not quite opague.
