Château Haut-Brisson: Vintage 2020 En Primeurs

Our vintage 2020 was well received by journalists. The following notes and comments are proof of this:

James Suckling 94-95

This is very linear and tight with beautifully crafted tannins that give a long, intense and energetic finish. The mid-palate is tight and poised. May 2021

Jeb Dunnuck 92-94

Checking in as 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Château Haut-Brisson brings some serious fruit, offering a monster nose of chocolate-covered blueberries, iron, tobacco, and candied violet aromas and flavors. Rich and full-bodied, it has ripe tannins and outstanding length. It pushes on the ripeness scale, yet I’ve no doubt it’s going to show more freshness and elegance from bottle. May 2021

Vinous Antonio Galloni 92-94+

The 2020 Haut-Brisson is deep, fleshy and totally seductive. Inky dark fruit, plum, chocolate, leather, gravel and cloves all build as this sumptuous, opulent Saint-Émilion shows off its curves. Flamboyant and silky, the 2020 is wonderfully immediate but also has the energy to drink well for a number of years to come. This is one of the most pure, vibrant Haut-Brissons I can remember tasting. June 2021
