CHÂTEAU HAUT BRION 1966
US$612.22
-4.5cm.
Haut-Brion story starts during the 14th century. At that time this estate appears to have been centred around a manor house entitled Aubrion, a name which may relate to a long-forgotten proprietor. The estate enjoyed a number of different owners but, somewhat curiously, in 1509 it came into the hands of Jean de Ségur, a member of the same Ségur family that later would take ownership of many of the top estates of the Médoc, including Lafite and Latour.
Clarence Dillon, an American banker purchased the estate in 1935. In 1975, control passed to Clarence's granddaughter Joan, who first married Charles de Luxembourg.

2012 Mongeard-Mugneret Echezeaux
US$131.89
A distinctly menthol-infused nose speaks of red and black pinot fruit, spice and floral aromas, all of which are trimmed in noticeable wood. There is impressive richness and volume to the mouth coating flavors that possess an abundance of dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm, balanced and beautifully persistent finish.
