Note di degustazione
The 2017 Haut-Brisson possesses striking aromatic presence and freshness to match its mid-weight, sensual personality. Dark red fruit, cedar, tobacco and licorice infuse the 2017 with lovely character and complexity. This is very nicely done. Readers will find a tasty, open-knit Saint-Émilion that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Haut-Brisson slips seductively out of the glass with notes of warm plums, mulberries and Black Forest cake plus hints of chocolate box and star anise. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of juicy black fruit and a plush texture with a refreshing lift to the finish.
The 2017 Haut Brisson was cropped at 20hl/ha due to frost and aged in 35% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and crushed stone aromas, a light violet scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and quite opulent although there is fine acidity on the peppery finish that keep everything in balance. It needs three or four years in bottle but this is a well-crafted and generous Saint-Émilion.
Dark fruits, chocolate, new leather, and spice-driven aromas and flavors all emerge from the 2017 Chateau Haut-Brisson, which is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, from more gravelly soils, that was raised in 35% new French oak. Nicely balanced, medium to full-bodied, and with a mouth-filling texture, it's a rounded, sexy 2017 that has loads to love. Give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following decade.
