A great vintage that is disappearing
Is it true that Haut-Brion is going to disappear? It would be a disaster for lovers of great wines. The Haut-Brion estate extends over several communes in the Gironde: Pessac, Talence and Mérignac, and its vineyard includes 50 hectares producing a hundred barrels every year. Apparently, the Haut-Brion estate is going to be divided up. Small houses are going to be built there for the Bordeaux "suburbanites". What a shame! And how regrettable it is that we cannot classify certain vintages as we classify certain historical monuments! Conclusion: let's hurry up and drink Haut-Brion while there is still some left. Unfortunately, it is an expensive wine...
