Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a great Bordeaux to know about. It’s run by Claire Villars-Lurton – who also looks after Château Ferrière and Château La Gurgue and is married to Gonzague Lurton from Château Durfot-Vivens in Margaux – and it’s located about a fifteen-minute walk away from some of the world of wine’s biggest names. Half the vineyards (in conversion to organic and biodynamic farming) sit next to Château Latour and the remaining half can be found nestled behind Château Pichon Baron. So, this is a Pauillac with some mighty fine terroir and a powerful winemaking family behind it. On top of all that Eric Boissenot consults for them, and he is a man who has touched the wines of Latour, Lafite Rothschild, Margaux, Mouton Rothschild, Palmer, Pichon Longueville, Pichon Baron, Ducru-Beaucaillou, Léoville Barton, Brane Cantenac, Léoville Las Cazes, Gruaud-Larose and many more.
The second wine, La Chapelle de Haut-Bages Libéral, comes from the younger vines of this prestigious estate, and it’s a soft and plush Claret with red fruit, crème de cassis, cigar box and lots of elegance. It’s a great value glimpse into some terrific terroir and 2016 was an extraordinary vintage in Pauillac.
