Domaine de la Passion Haut-Brion--Vintage 1959
Graves
Slightly damaged labels with two of them being bin-soiled. Levels top-shoulder or better The history of this vineyard dates back to an auction in 1919 where three lots, each of one hectare of vines were aquired by Monsieur Touraille, the name of these parcels being Domaine du Haut-Brion la Passion. Much of the wine made by Monsieur Touraille was purely for personal consumption, although, a small portion was said to have been sold to Belgian Negociants. During 1929, the Vineyard was given the right to adopt the name of Haut-Brion and was henceforth known as Domaine de la Passion Haut-Brion. Following the retirement of Monsieur Touraille, the Domaine went through a period of suffering and neglect. In 1948 two men started to manage the land, these men were René Allary and Jean Bardinon, they came to an agreement with Haut-Brion, where one third of their harvest was given to the Château in return for the bottling facilities. The men soon began to make exceptional wine, using the same viticultural practices as the great Haut-Brion itself. During the late 1970's, due to change in local law, it was no longer permitted for the Domaine's wines to be bottled at Haut-Brion. The Domaine was subsequently sold soon after to Haut-Brion and was incorporated into its vineyards
