Description
Château Haut-Brion, the only First Growth from Pessac-Léognan, has been producing world-class wines since the 16th century. The 1985 vintage is a stunning example of its longevity and refinement, offering a beautifully matured expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.
