Why we follow Château Haut-Brion
The estate
The oldest of the great estates and the only First Growth outside the Médoc, in Pessac-Léognan on the edge of the city of Bordeaux. Owned by Domaine Clarence Dillon, it was making renowned wine when Samuel Pepys wrote of it in 1663.
The vineyards
Around 50 hectares of deep gravel amid the suburbs, a warm microclimate that ripens Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc early. A small white production is among the world's greatest dry whites.
In the glass
Haut-Brion has a singular signature: warm gravel, tobacco, smoke and earth over dark fruit, powerful yet supple, with a savoury complexity all its own. The white is rich, mineral and extraordinarily long-lived.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
