HAUT-BRION
Haut-Brion, meaning "high mound of grave," enjoys the oldest reputation in print of any wine in Bordeaux, being first mentioned by Samuel Pepys having tasted it at the Royal Oak Tavern in London in 1663, "drank a sort of French wine called Ho 'Bryan that hath a good and most particular taste I never met with." The wine of Haut Brion was first sold at Christie's under the name of "Pontac", after its most prominent early owner Jean de Pontact, on April 6, 1778. Haut-Brion, the wine, has an illustrious reputation for its richness and suaveté and is generally comprised of 55 Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 Merlot and 20 Cabernet Franc. Haut-Brion is not just geographically distant from its First Growth peers, for it is widely recognized as singular in style and grace.
