Haut-Bages Liberal 2020 Pauillac

The great wine Château Haut-Bages Libéral combines energy with refinement. A true "Pauillac in lace." The presence of limestone in the vineyard, as well as deep beds of gravel, brings a touch of freshness and minerality to the style of the wine, making it unique within the Pauillac appellation. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot from certified organic and Biodynamic farming. 16 months ageing: 40% in new oak barrels, 40% in one-year old barrels, 20% in amphora. 2020 is a great vintage. The summer was particularly dry and sunny. Haut-Bages Libéral 2020 is a wine made with beautiful freshness, very qualitative tannins and an ageing potential of several decades. "Simply captivating in its intensity...magnificent" says Vinous. Please open well in advance or decant if drinking now.
