Chateau Haut-Brisson (Futures Pre-Sale) 2021

Professional Ratings

• 92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The 2021 Haut-Brisson is the product of low yields, as this site was impacted by the April frosts. Delivering aromas of sweet berry, plums, licorice and orange rind, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and textural, with a fleshy core of fruit and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish.

  Crushed morello cherries with crushed violets and dark olives. Juicy and nicely stemmy on the palate with medium to full body and a fluid core of fruit. Fresh, tightly wound and lengthy finish. Drink now or hold.

  From vines near Monbousquet and just about all Merlot (there’s a splash of Cabernet Franc), the 2021 Château Haut-Brisson is a charming, medium-bodied, absolutely delicious Saint-Emilion that has pure cassis and blue-tinged fruits, some floral and herbal nuances, soft, integrated tannins, and outstanding length. It's another up-front, charming, satisfying Saint-Emilion in the vintage that will benefit from just a year or two and evolve nicely for a decade.
