{"product_id":"chateau-haut-brion-1989","title":"Château Haut-Brion 1989","description":"\u003cp\u003eChâteau Haut-Brion 1989 is one of those rare Bordeaux wines that instantly commands attention: powerful, refined and built with remarkable precision. As the historic first wine ever sold under a château name in Bordeaux, it carries not only prestige but also a legacy of excellence that has made Haut-Brion a benchmark for great Left Bank wines. Robert Parker has called it one of the immortal wines of the vintage, and that reputation is well earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProefnotities\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine still shows a deep ruby-purple color with impressive density and concentration. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with scorched earth, graphite, liquid minerals and dark fruit such as blackberry and blackcurrant jam, followed by notes of toast, licorice and warm spice.\n\nOn the palate, Château Haut-Brion 1989 is full-bodied, viscous and beautifully seamless, with extraordinary purity and balance. The fruit is rich and mature, yet the structure remains elegant and composed, with low acidity and a long, harmonious finish. This is a wine with exceptional aging potential, and even after decades it continues to evolve with grace and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProductie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Haut-Brion is located in Pessac, just outside Bordeaux, on one of the region’s most distinctive terroirs. The estate’s gravelly soils and favorable microclimate are key to the wine’s depth, minerality and signature aromatic complexity. The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, carefully sorted, destemmed and then vinified with gradual temperature control to preserve precision and freshness. The finest lots are aged in new oak barrels for 20 to 24 months, allowing the wine to develop structure, polish and subtle complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEten \u0026amp; Serveren\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that deserves equally thoughtful food pairings, such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, venison, duck breast or dishes with truffle and wild mushrooms. It also works beautifully with aged hard cheeses. Serve ideally at 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended to allow the wine to open fully and show its full aromatic depth, especially if the bottle has been stored for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau Haut-Brion has a history dating back to 1525 and is widely regarded as one of Bordeaux’s most legendary estates. It was the first Bordeaux wine sold under the name of its château and later became one of the five First Growths in the 1855 classification. Since its acquisition by Clarence Dillon in 1935, the estate has been carefully restored and elevated to world-class status, a legacy now carried forward by the Dillon family under Prince Robert of Luxembourg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Haut-Brion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46877162274947,"sku":"FW-1049","price":3345.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4591\/7571\/files\/1_2_1055.png?v=1774602218","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.nl\/products\/chateau-haut-brion-1989","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
