Elegant and complex, Château Haut-Brion red presents mineral aromas and a unique complexity. Its strength lays in the finish, which is surprisingly long. This aromatic persistence is due to its very noble origins.

In 1815, Guillaume Lawton said of Château Lafite, 'I consider it to be the the most elegant and delicate, with the finest substance of the three (Premier Crus). The location of its vines is one of the finest in the Médoc'. In 1855 the Château was ranked as a Premier Grand Cru in the famous classification that was prepared for the Universal Exhibition of that year.

On Mount Olympus, according to Greek mythology, Zeus - a sometimes fickle husband - entrusted the nymph Echo with distracting his wife Hera by engaging her in endless chatter when he wished to tarry with some beautiful mortal. Hera, on discovering this little game, pronounced sentence on the nymph with the following words: 'You will never be the first to speak, but you will always have the last word'. Echo's life had changed forever, but that is another story... Back in Bordeaux, Château Haut-Bages Averous is a property in Pauillac, acquired some time ago by André Cazes. For over 30 years, it was Lynch-Bages' second wine. In 2008, a new identity was given to the second wine, under the name 'Echo de Lynch-Bages'. Echo de Lynch-Bages displays savoury aromas of fresh red fruits. Round, mellow and seductive in its youth, its ability to age is outstanding.

Hints of spice, vanilla and toasted coconut accent sun-kissed black cherry and plum in this juicy red wine. A full bodied wine with ripe, yielding tannins and a smooth finish.

Ruby read with rich chromatic nuances. The bouquet is distinctly fruity with cherry overtones that are balnced with hint of vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate the flavour reflects the spicy undertones while the fruit of the bouquet is well supported by balanced tannins.

A bouquet of dark plums, currants, dark berries, forest floor and kelp with underlying toasted oak notes. These concentrated flavours follow on the palate and combined with a fine tannin structure, give the wine a rich complex finish.

Situated north of the village, at the entrance to the Combe, the parcel covers 0.3 hectare and was planted in 1943. Matured in 40% new oak barrels made from wood from the Allier and Nivernais regions. On the nose, aromas of red fruit and violet. The palate is sound, lively and fruity from morello, conveying delicacy and gourmandise. A discrete woody nose suggests elegance while the tannic structure reveals the majestic quality. Match with Foie gras bruschetta and fig jam, chicken with black mushrooms.

Intense aromatics, very expressive, dominated by fresh fruit aromas (red currant, raspberry) blended with discreet notes of oak. Structured, round and easy, nicely oaked on the palate, with firm but silky tannins and a long, fresh and fruity finish.

Complex aromas combining matured fruity notes with spices and balsamic hints from its aging. The palate is soft and well structured with harmonic tannins from the oak.

A proprietary estate red blend sourced mainly from the warm, inland soils of Bridge Pa Triangle and Gimblett Gravels. Wonderfully fruited and elegantly complex, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, sweet cherry, cedar, thyme and warm spice aromas, leading to a gorgeously flavoursome palate offering succulent fruit intensity together with silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Supple and lingering with a delectable finish.

Red cherry, plum and spice, fruity and smooth. Perfect match with red meat dishes.
