Coming from dismal yields of 12.5 hectoliters per hectare, the 2020 Château Haut-Brisson is shockingly good and another brilliant Right Bank that's going to represent a tremendous value. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10%...

A linear and fine red with blueberries, lavender and hazelnut. Some black olives. Medium-bodied. Lovely tension and focus. Lots of harmony to this. Drink after 2025.

Aromas of cherries, sweet blueberries, spices and licorice introduce the 2020 Haut-Brisson, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine with a ripe core of fruit, lively acids and a long, saline finish. - William Kelley
