Reviews of 2001 Haut Bages Liberal Bordeaux Blend
91 points, Wine Spectator
March 2004
Black cherries with fresh basil on the nose open to a full-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. A solid wine with a good core of fruit and tannins. Best after 2008. 10,000 cases made. –JS
About 2001 Haut Bages Liberal Bordeaux Blend
About the Winery Haut Bages Liberal
The Liberal family established their home near Bages between the towns
of Pauillac and St-Julien-Beychevelle in the 18th century and
subsequently the land they settled took on their name. They were buyers
and sellers of wine, arranging deals between vignerons
and the wider market. Their long involvement with the wine trade in
France carried on through the centuries until after neglect and scandal
in the 20th century, the Chateau fell into the hands of Jacques
Merlaut, who added the chateau and estate to his already large
portfolio of French properties.
The average age of the vines at
Chateau Haut-Bages-Liberal is 35 years and the older vines are being
systematically replaced individually rather than en masse.
The vineyards are planted with mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with a
spattering of Merlot and Petit Verdot. The Chateau produces around 9000
cases a year and is generally referred to as one of the worthiest of
the fifth growth Pauillac wines.
