This blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the limestone plateau of the so-called Cote Pavie emerges from a 5-acre vineyard planted with 46-year-old vines;…the result is a compelling wine of great depth, richness, and aging potential. The dense purple color is accompanied by an extraordinary nose of charcoal, spring flowers, black raspberries, and creme de cassis. As my tasting notes read, this is “amazing stuff,” with incredibly sweet tannins as well as the vintage’s freshness and crispness, which makes it very different from recent vintages such as 2006, 2005, 2001, and 2000.

Very Limited

Made in a seductive, soft, charming style, the 2008 Beychevelle is destined to be drunk during its first 15 years of life. It is a sensual St.-Julien offering pretty raspberry and cranberry fruit as well as hints of darker fruits on the palate. With soft tannins and good purity, this is a medium-bodied, well-made, evolved, forward 2008.

Sweet black raspberry and blueberry fruit intermixed with hints of acacia flowers and crushed rocks always provide Branaire with a distinctive perfume. In the mouth, there is impressive purity, a powerful yet elegant style, noticeable but sweet tannin, and nicely integrated acidity. The wood component is not apparent given the density and richness of the fruit. The 2008 should come close to rivaling the 2005, 2003, and 2000.

New owners have done a wonderful job at Cantemerle, and while the 2008 may not be quite as terrific as the 2005, it is an elegant, floral, raspberry and black cherry-scented effort displaying sweet tannins, medium body, and admirable purity. If it fleshes out in the bottle, it will merit the higher score.

One of the finest second wines of Bordeaux, the 2008 La Chapelle d’Ausone exhibits abundant amounts of sweet blackberry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of ripe cherries, loamy soil, licorice, and earth. This relatively evolved, fleshy, full-bodied beauty should drink well for 15 or more years. (91-93 pts.)

The second wine now incorporates virtually everything that was in the Latour-Haut-Brion vineyard. The 2008 La Chapelle de la Mission exhibits spicy, earthy, forest floor-like notes intermixed with red currants and black fruits. It is a fresh, elegant, medium-bodied offering to enjoy during its first 10-12 years of life.

The second wine [formerly BAHANS], the 2008 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, offers sweet, pure, black cherry and black currant fruit, a distinctive underlying minerality/earthy component, medium body, and a rich, flavorful personality. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 15.

Back Story:
“In 2009 Domaine Clarence Dillon will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the first visit of Clarence Dillon to Chateau Haut-Brion. This milestone will enable us to write a new page in the modern history of our second wine. In recognition of three quarters of a century of presence of the Dillon family at Chateau Haut-Brion, Domaine Clarence Dillon has decided to mark the occasion by renaming our second wine ‘Le Clarence de Haut-Brion’ and by bottling our second wine in the elegant ‘Haut-Brion’ bottle, specially engraved with the mention:‘Clarence.’” [Press release, June, 2008]
