Review Date: 03/2023Coming 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% Cabernet Franc brought up in just 35% new French oak, it has a sensational perfume of red and black cherries, leafy tobacco, chocolate, lead pencil shavings, and liquid violet-like nuances. Full-bodied, concentrated, and flawlessly balanced, it has ultra-fine tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish.

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

The 2020 Haut-Brisson is every bit as captivating as it was in barrel. Succulent dark cherry fruit, plum, mocha, licorice, espresso and spice are beautifully amplified. Creamy and resonant, with terrific depth, Haut-Brisson is super-expressive today. It is a harmonious Saint-Émilion to drink over the next 15-20 years. Terrific. (AG)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Haut-Brisson is very bright and lively, offering notes of freshly crushed blueberries, black raspberries, and red currant, followed by suggestions of lilacs, iron ore, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate has impressive tension and energy with fine-grained tannins and a long, lifted finish.
