Drink To: 2027-2044

Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a 30-hectare Fifth Growth estate located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux. Its vineyards comprise Cabernet Sauvignon (c.75%) and Merlot (c.25%) and are widely dispersed across Pauillac, benefitting from an excellent terroir that consists of gravel on chalk, clay and limestone soils, with vines averaging 35 years in age. An eco-conscious estate, Château Haut-Bages was certified as organic in 2019, with the vineyards being confirmed biodynamic. An interest in biodiversity sees the planting of fruit, nut and cotton trees to attract animals to help fertilise the ground and to protect the vines from aphids that could damage the crop. The result of such sustainable methods sees the cultivation of a fragrant, complex and concentrated wine.

Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Haut-Bages Liberal is a gorgeous wine from Claire Lurton, even if it has closed down a bit post-bottling. Deep and translucent in feel, the 2019 gradually reveals hints of crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, rose petal and orange peel. I especially admire the overall energy and aromatic presence. All the 2019 needs is a few years to fully come together.

The standout wine at a presentation of the regenerative wines of Gonzague Lurton of Ch Durfort-Vivens in Margaux and Claire Lurton of Chx Ferriere and Haut-Bages Liberal, which was certified organic in 2019 and biodynamic in 2021. Cabernet Sauvignon accounts for 78% of plantings, Merlot the rest. Like the most delightful sweet ink(!) and so refreshing! Round fruit disguises the tannins with lovely mineral lift and energy.
