Château Haut Bages Liberal - 1988 - Château Haut-Bages-Liberal
Ref: A041288
5eme Cru Classé Pauillac

The 1988 Haut Bages Liberal is beginning to drink very well exhbiting classic cedary characteristics overlaid with pencil lead and infused with dark berry fruit flavours. Drink now until 2015.

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 winning property during the 18th century. Wine makers from one generation to another, over the years they grouped good plots of deep gravel sites, the largest of which dominates the Gironde estuary.

This Château is almost up at the top of the hill, just one small country lane separating the property and the highest point of the appellation. When the Château came on the market in 1982, the great names of the Medoc region fought to buy it. The owners of Château 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 winning team has not slackened and the wine they produce is becoming more and more popular with all serious imbibers of claret. The colour is dark ruby/purple. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17 % Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot
