Chateau Haut Brisson - Saint Emilion Grand Cru Red 2014 Double Magnum

Wine Region: Bordeaux - France

Grape:95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

Tasting notes: 
Château Haut-Brisson 2014 has a deep red color with violet glints. From the outset the glass is filled with notes of graphite, balsamic and cinnamon. The nose is intense with black fruit and floral aromas of orange blossom. The wood is still present but shows its charming side. On the palate the attack is fruity with beautiful hints of strawberry jam. The wine presents a very nice concentration, perfectly controlled, with silky tannins still present at this point but without harshness. A good balance between sweetness and power, the wood is well-integrated. The finish has considerable fruit with a very light minerality.  

Expert Ratings:

90/100 Robert Parker- The 2014 Haut Brisson has a straightforward red berry, earthy bouquet, a little rustic perhaps but with plenty of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very well balanced, a fine line of acidity and a hint of espresso on the harmonious finish. This Saint Emilion will drink very well over the next decade.

92/100 James Suckling- Quite a mellow and traditional-style St.-Émilion, but in the positive sense. A solid tannic base supports the moderately rich body, and the tannins are quite sophisticated on the dry finish.

About the winery: 

Château Haut-Brisson was the first property acquired by Peter Kwok and his daughter Elaine in 1997. In 2019, Mr. Stéphane Schinazi, a Bordeaux native, acquired Château Haut Brisson from Vignobles K. Mr. Schinazi has a strong passion for wine and after a successful career in the field of technology, he is looking to start a new chapter of his career discovering the wine world.

Château Haut-Brisson is located south of the appellation on the 3 villages of Saint-Émilion, Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens and Vignonet. The diversity of terroirs, combined with vines of an average age of 30 years, allows us to produce wines at optimum maturity that expresses the terroir. In addition, Vignobles K will partner with Mr. Stéphane Schinazi to jointly overlook both technical and commercial management at the estate.

Chateau Haut Brisson produces three wines: La Réserve, Chateau Haut Brisson and La Grave. Each of the wines has its own character, thanks to a precise selection of parcels. There is a Chateau Haut Brisson wine for every occasion.
