Bordeaux Primeurs | 5th Cru Classé, Pauillac AC

Over time, the owners of Haut-Bages Libéral, these fine connoisseurs, have brought together the best terroirs of Pauillac. This is how this 5th Cru Classé in 1855 today has half of its vineyard attached to that of Château Latour and the other half behind Château Pichon Baron, located on the heights of the place called “Bages”, large plateau south of Pauillac.

Decanter

One of the best Haut-Bages Libérals I've tasted from barreel. Perfumed blackcurrants, quite dark and true to form with a gorgeous perfume. Aromatics are great. Juicy and crisp, sleek and svelte, definitely quite streamlined but with such soft, velvety tannins that give grip but support the vibrant fruit so well. I love this. Really very classic, muscular but gentle with purity and focus. Hard to explain but this is great, maybe quite light and not layered enough, but there’s such complex flavours and aromas. And the acidity is excellent. A very friendly wine that will be easy to approach. Half gravelly soil, half limestone with 50% chalk on Cabernet – really rare for a cru classé. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.56pH. A yield of 32hl/ha. Drinking window: 2033 - 2050.

Colour

A beautiful dark red with almost black reflections.

Nose

Intense, fine, fruity and pure.

Palate

Meticulous on the palate, followed by a fine richness which opens onto a straight profile with a beautiful structure. Noble, without being Pauillac at all in its profile, this wine melts on the palate, culminating in a juicy and deep finish of good length.

Wine-growing terroir

Gunzian Garonne gravels on clay-limestone substrate.

Winemaking

Traditional in concrete and stainless steel vats whose volumes are proportional to the plot, vatting for 18 to 24 days, aging in barrels (40% of which new wood) for 16 months.
