Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The resulting wine of the 2011 growing season has both the power and the elegance. The tannins are ripe and silky on the palate. A very nice balance. We can classify this vintage among the classic ones.

Blend: 72 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 28 % merlot

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    This wine has a true beauty and succulence that impresses, especially for the vintage. It’s full-bodied, with fine tannins and a subtle, fruity finish. It’s clarity and finesse here for 2011.
  • 92
    This is a brooding, dark wine; its tannins are evident, with a complex series of dark, dense flavors. Its fruit is buried under all of its tannic scaffolding.
    Barrel Sample: 90-92 Points
  • 90
    A very pure rendering, with plum, cassis and bitter cherry fruit wound together, while bright iron, violet and stony notes fill in on the finish. A more elegant, minerally style of Pauillac. Best from 2015 through 2025. 9,166 cases made.

Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal, France
Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal Winery Image
A few explanations about this triple-barrel name: Haut Bages because the property is situated on the hills of Bages, a small hamlet between Pauillac and Saint Julien. Libéral is the name of the family who built up this wining property during the 18th century. Wine brokers from one generation to another, over the years they grouped good plots of deep gravel, the largest of which dominates the Gironde estuary.

This Chateau is almost up at the top! Just one small country lane separates the property and the highest point of the appellation. A lane which runs between Haut-Bages-Libéral and Pauillac's famous Chateau Latour.

When the Chateau came on the market in 1982, the great names of the Medoc region fought to buy it. The owners of Chasse Spleen were to become the proud owners. Their first vintage was a success, in no way hindered by the fact that 1982 was an exceptional year for Medoc wines. Since then, the quality of the work carried out by the wining team has not slackened and the wine they produce is becoming more and more popular with journalists and professionals of the wine world.
