Mike Supple, JJ Buckley, April 2007

Dark clear ruby core and rim. Bold mint chocolate aromas float over more delicate lilac, backed by dark black cherry. Very nice structure even on the front of the palate. The body builds in the middle - quite a lot of oomph. A bold, solid fruit core is accented by light touches of baker's chocolate into the finish.

Wine Spectator, March 2009

#40 on Top 100 of 2009; Dark ruby purple in color, with aromas of currant and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Tight now, but pretty and balanced. Best after 2012. 10,000 cases made. -JS

About Winery

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.
