Description

A seductively fresh and elegant Pauillac red wine

The estate

The Libéral family has owned Château Haut-Bages Libéral since the beginning of the 18th century. Over time, these fine connoisseurs have brought together the best terroirs of Pauillac. Today, this Pauillac Classified Growth is owned by the Villars family, who acquired it in 1983 and revived in Château Haut-Bages Libéral the luster of yesteryear. The family has invested in new winemaking equipment and has converted the cultivation of the vineyard to sustainable viticulture.

The vineyard

Château Haut-Bages Libéral 2021 is a Pauillac wine that stems from a 30-hectare vineyard. The vines are planted on Günzian gravel upon a clay-limestone subsoil. Certified in organic farming since 2019, Château Haut-Bages Libéral is in the process of converting to biodynamic farming.

The vintage

Frost, run-off and cool temperatures during the spring and summer seasons preceded a strong mildew pressure which affected almost half the vineyard. Despite low yields, the grapes harvested showcased a high quality.

Vinification and ageing

The vinification is carried out in a plot-by-plot manner and is accompanied by pumping over and vertical pressing. Maceration for 24 days. The wine is aged for 16 months, 40% in new barrels, 40% in second-fill barrels and 20% in amphorae.

The blend

Cabernet Sauvignon (90%)

Merlot (10%)
