Château Haut Brion 世界で最もエレガントなワインと言われる偉大なシャトー! 赤ワイン 750ml [AOC]ペサック・レオニャン 第1級 [評 価]100点 The 2018 Haut-Brion is composed of 49.4% Merlot, 38.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11.9% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, the wine needs a lot of swirling before it begins to release a whole complex melody of notes, one at a time to begin: tilled earth, followed by pronounced licorice, then crushed rocks, then the preserved plums. Eventually, it all comes together into a fascinating crescendo of intense crème de cassis, rose oil, wild blueberries and kirsch notes, giving way to quiet, persistent leitmotif scents of cinnamon stick, truffles and redcurrant jelly. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers all this and more, revealing tightly wound black fruit, red berry and exotic spice layers within a solid, wonderfully plush frame and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length and loads of earth and mineral sparks. This is a profound, highly intellectual, multilayered baby, which will require a good 7-8 years to begin to sing its incredible song, then should cellar a further 40 years at least. By way of reference, think 1989 with more restraint and even greater purity. End of March 2021, The Wine Advocate(1st Apr 2021)

第1級 畑面積 約43ha 年間生産量 約13万本
1級シャトーの中では軽いワインと評価されてますが、日本人の
食生活を考えると、又、日本でのフレンチのバター、生クリーム
の使用量等を考えると非常に料理に合わせ易いワインです。
75年以降は安定して素晴らしいワインを作っていて、50年代
はオフヴィンテージでも素晴らしいワインを作り出したりして、
何とも不思議なシャトー。
『この偉大な一級シャトーは世界で最もエレガントで
アロマの複雑なワインをつくっている。この点に関
しては、様々な反論があり得るだろう。1980年代初
め以降、オーブリオンほどの一貫性と、輝かしい品
質を示すシャトーはほかにない。』
