Anmeldelser af Château Haut-Bages Libéral Pauillac 5. Cru Classé 2018
97/100 James Suckling
”Pretty blackberries, blueberries and violets with some crushed-raspberry aromas follow through to a full body with wonderfully crafted and pure tannins that intertwine wonderfully with the blue fruit and blackberries. Long and endless. A triumph here. From biodynamically grown grapes.”
94/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“The 2018 Haut-Bages Libéral is super-impressive right out of the gate. It shows all the depth and intensity I saw from barrel, with maybe a bit more tannic impact. Ripe red cherry, plum, orange peel, cedar and sweet spice all build in the glass. The 2018 is going to need a few years to come into its own, but it is a gorgeous Pauillac. 94+”
94/100 Falstaff
“Dark ruby garnet, good depth, purple reflections, delicate brightening of the edges. Nuances of liquorice, cassis and blackberry jam underlaid with fine precious wood spice, a hint of lime, mineral, delicate tobacco touch. Complex, full-bodied, firm texture, dark cherries, well-embedded, sustaining tannins, dark-spicy, stylistically referring to St.-Estèphe, shows good length, a robust, multi-faceted food companion, still has a lot to do.”

94/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
”The nose is elegant, racy, fresh and offers power, deepness as well as harmony. It reveals notes of cassis, liquoriceand small notes of small bright wild black berries associated with small touches of raspberry, Sichuan pepper, violet as well as a discreet hint of camphor and spices. The palate is elegat, delicate, silky and offers power (full of control and delicacy), a certain concentration and a beautifully preserved fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cassis, bright cherryand small notes of plum associated with small touches of violet, rose, bright garriguette strawberry as well as hints of black tea, liquorice, a very discreet hint of tobacco and toasted. Good length. Tannins are elegant, fine and supple. An imperceptible hint of crushed almond in the finish/persistence.”
93-94/100 Vinbladet
“Stor duft med modne solbær, blyantstift, meget tæt. Rig smag med moden frugt, der dækker over tanninerne. Lang, rig eftersmag med modne solbær.”
93/100 Jeff Leve. The Wine Cellar Insider
“Medium/full-bodied, bright, lifted layers of sweet, juicy red currants pop up on the nose along with tobacco, cedar, cigar box and a light hint of oak. There is a brightness to the fruit in the mouth, chewy tannins and a crispness to the red berries that carries through from start to finish.”
93/100 Jean-Marc Quarin
92/100 Decanter
“A more unfussy than slick wine, less sumptuous than some as is often the case with this estate, but as you sit with it you start to realise there’s real quality here. It has a juiciness and integrity to the cassis and bilberry fruit, alongside brambles and hedgerows, with chewy tannins that build slowly through the palate providing a welcoming cushion of support.”
Château Haut-Bages Libéral 2018 er fremstillet efter klassisk Pauillac-opskrift med hele 70 % Cabernet Sauvignon og 21% Merlot, der komplementeres af Petit Verdot og Cabernet Franc. Druerne, der dyrkes økologisk og biodynamisk (dog endnu uden certifikation), høstes fra 35 år gamle vinstokke på 30 hektar med dybe, veldrænede grusbanker – meget tæt på berømte Château Latour og Pichon Longueville Baron! Vinen gærer parcelvist på betontank med 19-22 dages maceration, inden 16 måneder på 225 liter barriquefade, heraf 40% helt nye.
Om Château Haut-Bages Libéral
Med sin beliggenhed op ad giganter som Château Latour (1. Cru Classé) og Château Pichon Longueville Baron (2. Cru Classé) har Château Haut-Bages Libéral er naturgivent kæmpepotentiale, som Villars familien nu for alvor er i gang med at indfri.
Chateau Haut-Bages Libéral (5. Cru Classé) er dels opkaldt efter Libéral-familien, som drev ejendommen i 1700-tallet, og dels efter sin beliggenhed på det grusholdige ”Bages”-plateau i det sydlige Pauillac. Den varme og veldrænede jordbund samt Medoc-halvøens placering mellem Atlanterhavet og Gironde-flodmundingen er afgørende faktorer for perfekt modning af Cabernet Sauvignon, der udgør hele 72 % af slottets 30 beplantede hektar. Fadmodningen sker på op til 45% helt nye barriquefade.
Siden Villars-familiens overtagelse i 1983 har kvaliteten fået løft på alle parametre: fra biodynamiske eksperimenter i vinmarken (certifikation fra 2019) til gennemgående renovation af vineriet i 2001. Resultatet af det hårde arbejde fremgår tydeligt af slottest vine, der i gang hører til de bedste køb i Pauillac! Claire Villars Lurton ejer desuden Margaux-slottene Ferrière og La Gurgue.
