Wine for sale: Château Haut Bages Libéral

One of our favourite estates in Bordeaux, Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a biodynamically farmed Cinquième Grand Cru Classé that also stands at the forefront of agroforestry and cover-cropping. If you’re looking for fine, remarkably approachable Bordeaux, you’ve come to the right place!

Owned by Claire Villars-Lurton, Château Haut-Bages Libéral occupies an enviable position on the sought-after Bages plateau. The vineyard is divided into three parcels bordering those of Château Latour, Château Pichon Comtesse de Lalande and Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. Its fine gravel soils provide an ideal setting for the vines. Much of the vineyard was replanted during the 1960s, and the vines are now fully revealing their true character. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, with agroforestry and permanent cover crops playing a central role in the estate’s viticultural approach. The wines have evolved considerably in recent years and now display an outstanding level of quality, combining a racy character, finesse and remarkable drinkability.
