Better than the legendary 1989? A modern day 1945 or 1961?

The 2009 Haut Brion is without a doubt one of the best wines produced from the Estate. Of course, we are just beginning to see (& taste) the potential in this wine – only time will tell exactly how legendary this will be. Lucky for you, we have pristine 12pk cases available today that were all purchased on release! Not looking to commit to a case? We have loose bottles available as well.

The wines of Haut Brion are typically Merlot heavy, as the clay rich soil makes it especially suited to the varietal. They are some of the most fascinating, long-lived wines in the world. Over the years, they have cut production and each vintage less and less of this magical wine is made. To give you a reference – in 1982 there were over 21,000 cases made and in 1989 there were over 17,000 cases. For 2009? Less than 11,000 cases.

"A monumental Haut-Brion made to age for centuries. I have never tasted a young Haut-Brion, with such spellbinding power and depth."

"There is so much going on in the aromatics that one almost hesitates to stop smelling it. "

Bottles of 1989 are currently selling for nearly $2,300. At just $895 a bottle, the 2009 is absolutely worth the investment and patience. Two years ago, a 12PK of this wine was selling for nearly $12,000! A truly great buy today!
