HAUT-BRION
Château Haut-Brion has been highly regarded for many centuries, being mentioned in Samuel Pepy’s diary in 1663 (as “Ho Bryan”) and is the oldest of the Bordeaux classed Growths. In 1935 Haut-Brion was bought by the American banker, Clarence Dillon and since 2008 his great-grandson, His Royal Highness Prince Robert of Luxembourg is the current President. The contribution of the Delmas family should be mentioned as the family have been involved in the property since 1923, when George Delmas was employed to administer the estate. Subsequently he was succeeded in 1961 by his son Jean-Bernard, and then by his son, Jean-Philippe in 2004. Jean-Bernard pioneered the use of stainless steel, and in 1961 Haut-Brion became the first major Bordeaux estate to vinify in stainless steel. Further improvements and investments have been instrumental in retaining its reputation of producing one of the finest wines in the world, of both red and dry white wines. In 1983 the Dillons acquired the next door property La Mission Haut-Brion.
