Château Haut-Bages Libéral
About Château Haut-Bages Libéral
Drawing its name from the Liberal family, well-known negociants in Bordeaux and owners of other properties on the Left Bank who purchased the estate in the 18th century, Château Haut-Bages-Libéral is located on the hills of Bages, a tiny area between Pauillac and Saint Julien which makes up the second part of its name. From the 1960s onwards, it was managed by the Cruse family who also owned Château Pontet-Canet, and for a few years, wines of Château Haut-Bages-Libéral were actually made at Château Pontet-Canet. Château Haut-Bages-Libéral was then sold to the Taillan group in 1983, which owned several properties including Château Ferrière and Château de Camensac and has remained under the same ownership till today.
The vines of Château Haut-Bages-Libéral span over 30 hectares, half of which is located in Bages with other parcels located near highly regarded estates like Château Latour and Château Pichon Baron. Certified organic since the 2019 vintage, the wines of Château Haut-Bages-Libéral continue to improve, delivering excellent value.

Deemed a “Pauillac of a caressing nature”, the Château Haut-Bages-Libéral 2020 is yet another marvellous effort by this Fifth Growth Paulliac as it “continues to improve” (James Lawther, 17 points). Suckling (95-96 points) attributes the unique “mushroom, wet-earth, spice, and black-tea character on the nose and palate” character on the nose and palate to the old Merlot vines from the estate while Jane Anson (91 points) noted a generous black fruit profile that was “chewy and concentrated”, all lifted by “a shot of acidity”. Certified organic since 2019, Château Haut-Bages-Libéral is clearly upping the ante and their efforts are evident in the excellent 2020 vintage.Haut-Bages Liberal 2020 (6x75cl)
