Chateau Haut Brion Vintage 1976

Chateau Haut Brion Vintage 1976About the wine. Chteau Haut Brion is the oldest of Bordeaux's five first growths, and one of the most famous wines in the world. Located in Pessac Leognan, south of the city of Bordeaux, the chteau is rather far removed from its counterparts, all of which are found in the Mdoc. 1976 was a reasonable good vintage for Bordeaux, some rain at harvest time leading to the wines being generally lighter than in the best vintages. Typical blend, Cabernet
