Le Bahans du Château Haut-Brion is the second wine cuvée of the renowned Château Haut-Brion, one of the most respected wineries in Bordeaux, France. The 1995 Le Bahans du Château Haut-Brion is a remarkable wine from this house, reflecting the quality and heritage of the winery, but at a more accessible price.
In the glass, the 1995 Le Bahans du Château Haut-Brion presents itself with a deep ruby red color, indicative of its maturity and concentration. The 1995 vintage in Bordeaux was generally considered very good, and Haut-Brion's second wine also fully exploited the potential of this vintage.
The nose reveals an appealing bouquet with aromas of black currants, plums, and ripe dark cherries. There are also hints of tobacco, cedarwood, and a subtle mineral note. These aromas add depth and complexity to the wine, although they may not be quite as intense and multifaceted as the flagship wine, Château Haut-Brion.
On the palate, the 1995 Le Bahans du Château Haut-Brion presents itself with good structure and a smooth texture. The fruity aromas continue, accompanied by notes of chocolate, coffee, and delicate spices. The tannins are present but well integrated, giving the wine a pleasant smoothness. The acidity is balanced and contributes to the freshness and balance. The finish is medium-long and pleasant.
Le Bahans du Château Haut-Brion 1995 is a more accessible wine than the estate's flagship wine, yet still offers a remarkable level of quality and refinement. Although it has already undergone several years of bottle aging, it still has some ageing potential and can continue to offer enjoyment.
