    La fraîcheur et la précision affichée d’emblée annoncent la couleur ! Elles posent les jalons de manière magistrale, sereine, avec moult nuances dédiées à la subtilité et à la haute définition. Dense et fin en attaque, le vin se révèle avec une improbable sérénité. Il est puissant, profond, lucide et conscient de ses aptitudes. Ainsi, il s’installe confortablement et est transporté par une force tranquille, respectivement des tannins parfaitement intégrés qui assurent non seulement les assises, mais qui confèrent une extraordinaire fraîcheur tout en prenant soin d’étirer la finale. Certainement une des très grandes réussites du millésime ! 2029-2072. Décembre 2024.

    Couleur profonde et sombre. Nez intense, fin, fruité, fumé, rarement vu aussi identitaire si jeune. A l'agitation, il prend une touche de fruits noirs, d'âtre dans la cheminée et une nuance de résine. C'est superbe ! Ample à l'attaque, complexe en milieu de bouche, avec beaucoup de goût et un gras fin parcourant le palais, le vin évolue très lentement sur une trame serrée, vers une finale puissante et profonde. C'est particulièrement bon, avec un profil aromatique unique et du punch pour un Pessac Léognan. Février 2025.

    Dark and brooding aromatics on the nose - blackcurrants, cherries and plums with mint and graphite accents too. Smooth and so juicy, glorious and joyful on the palate - it bursts with ripe red berry fruit that has a touch of crushed stones and fruit flesh giving a textured mouthfeel. Just feels so enjoyable and really quite approachable now. Fruity, soft, svelte - there's sinew but no heaviness. It's sleek and sophisticated, confident but not showy - almost understated. Really fantastic, where LMHB carries a spiced vein with more heat, this is more relaxed and open. Calm and generous in terms of fruit purity with well integrated tannins and wood. Wonderful. Has a delicate charm, layered but really finely presented. 3.83pH. 63% new oak. Drinking window: 2030 - 2052. Georgina Hindle. January 2025.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    The 2022 Haut-Brion, which was bottled in May 2024, lives up to the high expectations I had set for it and then some. Revealing a dense, complex and precise bouquet of dark berries, pencil lead, cedar box, rose and spices intertwined with discreet notes of oak, it's full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a muscular chassis of tannins and an enveloping core of fruit that retains energy and purity, concluding with youthful grip. Given the inherent quality of the terroir, time is likely to be very kind to this vintage, allowing it to integrate and mature gracefully. 97+/100. Drinking window: 2032 - 2052. Yohan Castaing. March 2025.

    The wine has a powerful structure and dense tannins. There is fine acidity, certainly, but also a solid structure with concentrated texture and power. The black fruits are set to age well. 96-98 Barrel sample. Roger Voss. February 2023.
