Formerly known as Bahans Haut-Brion, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is the second wine of illustrious Pessac-Léognan estate, Château Haut-Brion. Made to the same exacting standards and with similarly meticulous attention to detail as the Grand Vin, this is a marvellous entry point to the Domaine Clarence Dillon red wines. 2015 was widely regarded as an exceptional vintage and this wine is composed of 57% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc.

The 2015 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion does not have the joie-de-vivre of the La Chapelle de la Mission. It's more austere and tertiary on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, good weight and poise, a keen line of acidity and a precise finish. This is worth seeking out. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index. Neal Martin3rd June 2025

Pessac Leognan's Only First Growth

Grapes are thought to have been grown on the Haut-Brion estate in Pessac-Léognan since the Roman era, while the first recorded mention of the property is in 1423. The wine has had a long, illustrious history and is famously mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his diary of 1663. Nowadays, Haut Brion is considered by many to be one of the finest wines in the world and was ranked in the First Growth category during the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines.

Renowned for its first wine (40% of production), Haut Brion, the estate also produces a spectacular second wine from young vines, Le Clarence de Haut Brion, in addition to a white, Château Haut-Brion Blanc, the Clarendelle branded wines and a second white, La Clarté de Haut Brion (which also takes grapes from La Mission). Spanning 53 hectare, the estate is planted to 50 hectares red varieties and 3 hectares white. The reds produced are beautifully balanced and complex, often around 14% abv and made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, typically aged in 80% new oak. The Haut-Brion Blanc meanwhile is a Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc blend, produced in small quantities and aged in a mix of new and one-year oak.
