For the population in the suburbs of Pessac this is not a fantasy; their homes border one of the most famous vineyards in the world: Chateau Haut-Brion. It is the first growth with the most loyal fan base, a wine that many connoisseurs hold dear to their heart. Unlike Chateau Latour or Chateau Mouton Rothschild it is not a wine that expresses affluence or power. It as a wine of the earth, relatively understated, an immaculate accompaniment to food, a wine for those who adore traditional claret to consume rather than to impress. It does not quite have the caché of the other first growths, so it rarely achieves a higher price than its contemporaries. But make no mistake, this is definitely a first growth par excellence and for many sages in the wine world, Haut-Brion offers unequalled pleasure.
