CRITIC REVIEWS
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.
