The Château Haut-Brion enjoys a reputation that goes back centuries, a model of longevity and excellence resulting from an exceptional terroir. The first traces of Domaine date back to 1525, when Jean de Pontac, a notable member of parliament in Bordeaux, received it by marriage and began building Château in 1549, at the same time increasing the size of the vineyard.
Served at the tables of the kings of England, as attested by a 1660 archive, Château was the first to appear under its cru name, "Ho Bryan", as Samuel Pepys, a member of the English Parliament, put it in his diary in 1663.
In the famous 1855 classification, Château Haut-Brion was the only Domaine from the Graves region to appear, as the 1st Grand Cru Classé, sharing this distinction with four Domaines: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux, Château Latour as well as Château Mouton Rothschild since 1973.
Bought in 1935 by American banker Clarence Dillon and run today by his descendant, Prince Robert du Luxembourg, Château Haut-Brion is based on a 51-hectare gravel vineyard: 48ha in red dedicated to the production of the grand vin and Second vin, Clarence de Haut-Brion (44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 12% Cabernet franc and 2% Petit Verdot), and 3ha in white dedicated to the production of the grand vin blanc Sec (52% Sémillon and 47% Sauvignon blanc).
The grand vin rouge of Château Haut-Brion is a wine of extraordinary intensity, complexity and velvety power. As for the white wine it produces, it is reputed to be Sec de Bordeaux's greatest white wine, mineral and unctuous.
Clarté de Haut-Brion has a unique, legendary parentage: made from grapes grown on the Haut-Brion terroir, it is the offspring of two prestigious Domaines: Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Around 1,000 cases are produced each year.
This white wine, La robe light and golden, is made from a variable blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, blended by Domaine Clarence Dillon's eminent oenologists. Fruity and floral aromas give it unique complexity and great ageing potential. These are just some of the reasons why wine lovers the world over are eager to discover this white wine Sec, as fine as Rare.
To express its unique dual ancestry, La Clarté de Haut-Brion has now adopted the bottle shape of Château Haut-Brion. The bottle features a macaron bearing its name, engraved in the glass. As for the label and cap, they echo the color codes of the famous Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc. The label bears the logo of the family business Domaine Clarence Dillon.
This exceptional white wine has all the qualities to stand on its own, while benefiting from its illustrious lineage as heir to the two most prestigious white wines Secs and Rares from Bordeaux.
