HAUT BRION
Château Haut-Brion has been highly regarded for many centuries, being mentioned in Samuel Pepy's diary in 1663. In 1935 Haut-Brion was bought by the American banker, Clarence Dillon. His descendents still own the estate in the form of his grand-daughter Joan Dillon who is the President and her son, His Royal Highness Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the Vice President and Managing Director. Stephen Brook highlights the contribution of the Delmas family who have been involved on the estate since 1921, when George Delmas was employed to administer the estate. Subsequently he was succeeded in 1960 by Jean-Bernard, and then by his son, Jean-Philippe in 2004.
