Unveiling the terroir of Pessac-Léognan
As the only First Growth Bordeaux estate not located in the Médoc region, Château Haut-Brion is situated in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, north of Graves. The 2016 Haut-Brion red wine earned a perfect 100-point score from James Suckling thanks to its unique grape blend (56% Merlot, 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6.5% Cabernet Franc).
The climate of that year endowed the wine with captivating aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and Haut-Brion's signature "smoky and earthy" character. The tannins are silky smooth, with a finish that lasts for several minutes. This impeccable quality has made the 2016 Haut-Brion tasting notes a standard in major wine magazines, further solidifying its dominant position in the global fine wine market.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acquiring Premium Wines (FAQ)
Q: Will the lack of an original wooden case (OWC) affect the buyback price of 2016 Haut-Brion wine? A: An original wooden case does indeed add value to top-tier wines at auctions and in buybacks , typically resulting in a premium of around 10%-20%. However, even without the original wooden case, as long as your individual bottle is in good condition and the liquid is intact, we will still offer highly competitive buyback prices for fine wines .
Q: Besides the 2016 vintage, do you also buy back wines from the other five first-growth Bordeaux châteaux? A: Yes. We specialize in buying back first-growth Bordeaux wines (Lafite, Mouton Rothschild, Margaux, Latour, Haut-Brion), regardless of the vintage. Whether it's a top Burgundy château (such as DRC, Leroy) or a cult wine, we offer free online preliminary valuation and a dedicated door-to-door purchase service.
Q: How can you prove that your wine purchase prices are better than other sellers? A: Our valuation system directly connects to the latest transaction data from the London International Vintners Exchange (Liv-ex) and global auction houses, eliminating the traditional auction house's high 20% commission and lengthy waiting period. This allows us to pass the profits directly back to the seller, ensuring that the recommended buyout offers for your vintage wines are the most favorable in the market.
