Chateau Haut-Brion
Château Haut-Brion, with a history dating back to 1525, was acquired by American financier Clarence Dillon in 1935 and is now overseen by his great-grandson, Prince Robert of Luxembourg. The winemaking legacy continues under Jean-Philippe Delmas, the third generation in his family to lead the estate. Located in Pessac, Bordeaux, Château Haut-Brion’s 51-hectare vineyard sits on gravel over clay and sand, primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. Meticulously hand-harvested, the estate produces only about 10,000 cases per vintage. Renowned for their aging potential, these limited wines are highly valued for both enjoyment and investment.
