The estate is renowned for its unique terroir, characterized by gravelly soils that impart a distinctive minerality and depth to its wines.

The 2000 vintage of Château Haut-Brion is a particularly notable example of the estate’s mastery. The millennium vintage in Bordeaux was exceptional, and Haut-Brion’s 2000 offering is no exception.
