Château Haut-Brion 1989 is a First Growth red wine from the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux. This 300cl jeroboam contains one of the most celebrated wines of the 20th century, produced during an exceptionally hot and early harvest. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc that displays a legendary bouquet of cigar box, scorched earth, cassis and violets. The palate is incredibly concentrated and velvety, showing a seamless transition from ripe fruit to refined, mineral tannins. Even in this large format, the wine possesses a startling level of aromatic intensity and a finish that persists for minutes, marking it as a historical benchmark for the estate.
