💁‍♀️ Chateau Haut Brisson 可說是該區內為人所熟悉的知名酒莊。優良的土質主要是由砂及小石礫構成，鐵質豐富。華人投資家郭先生，因為深感前葡萄園主Moulinet先生對葡萄酒業的熱愛，於是在1997年為女兒買下這個酒莊。

不要以為華人投資之下，對葡萄酒的要求會下降…剛好相反﹐他們跟我們 Wine Couple 的理念同樣很重視 Terroir 風土對葡萄酒的影響。所以接手後的第一件事﹐就是忍痛花上數年的時間，把「不合格」的葡萄藤連根拔起，進行「養土工程」，實在極之認真！難怪所釀造出來的葡萄酒質量令人趨之若鶩😉

🔍Haut Brisson酒莊從不使用殺蟲劑，是James Suckling最愛的自然動力法酒莊之一。人工摘取的葡萄經過嚴格的檢選後放入小型的不鏽鋼桶裏進行發酵，並在100%全新法國橡木桶裏陳存15-19個月。酒莊由Michel Rolland當釀酒顧問，雖使用傳統的釀造方式，但在現代科技配合下，Chateau Haut Brisson一直在國際重量級酒評之中，取得很高的評價。像世界知名的酒評家Robert Parker & James Suckling，對Chateau Haut Brisson 給予極高分數。

㊙️不講不知！這支Haut Brisson就曾經出現在台灣總統馬英九和蔡英文總統專機/出訪行程上，足以証明它的份量😎

This is a very powerful and structured Haut-Brisson, showing incredible depth and richness. Full-bodied and layered with incredible depth and purity. Layers of fruit and tannin. Best ever.

he deep, saturated purple/plum-colored 2018 Château Haut Brisson checks in as a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc from a 22-hectare vineyard of fine gravelly and quartz-rich soils sitting on top of deep clay. Still aging in 35% new French oak, this rich, medium to full-bodied Saint-Émilion offers a nicely layered and beautifully balanced style as well as complex notes of blue and black fruits, spice box, blood orange, and violets. It has an exotic edge, ample mid-palate depth, and the sexy yet pure style of the vintage. It’s a smoking good Saint-Émilion to drink any time over the coming two decades. Tasted twice.

The 2018 Haut Brisson is an absolutely gorgeous wine. Radiant and plush, with striking fruit density, the 2018 captures all the best the vintage has to offer. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, chocolate, dried flowers and menthol build in a creamy, sensual Saint-Émilion loaded with near and medium-term appeal. Haut Brisson is especially fine in 2018. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, with new oak at 35%. Tasted three times.

🏅Decanter 92 pts

One of the bigger St-Emilion wines this year, silky but concentrated with powerful and pure dark cassis fruit. It's juicy and intense, with good extraction giving chewy but well structured tannins. It has good ageing potential. A 41hl/ha yield in 2018 from 22ha. Ageing in 40% new oak. 3.7pH.

The 2018 Haut-Brisson comes from Vignonet and Monbousquet in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, from the lieu-dit Laroque. It is blended of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and has 14.6% alcohol. It is aging in 35% new, 35% one-year-old and 30% two-year-old barrels for an anticipated 18 months. It has a deep garnet-purple color and comes charging out of the glass with baked black cherries, warm blueberries and preserved plums with touches of pencil shavings, kirsch and chargrilled meat plus a waft of Indian spices. Full-bodied, the generously fruited palate has a lovely plush texture and just enough freshness, finishing with a menthol lift.
