Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "A classic Pauillac nose, showing ripe currants, graphite, pencil shavings and cocoa powder. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a seamless coating of fine, dusty tannins. The wine is broad, dissolved and long, with good drive. Approachable now thanks to its balance and complexity but will be much better after 2027." - James Suckling

- Classification
- 5eme Grand Cru Classé
- Producer Notes
- The name of Château Haut-Bages Liberal has two roots. The LIBERAL family ran the property in the early eighteenth century. Brokers from father to son, they sold the harvest in the Netherlands and Belgium. Their name adjoining to the topographical designation, earned them to be invited worldwide to the table of political parties of the same name. Over time, these connoisseurs gathered the best soils of Pauillac. Thus, this 5th Classified Growth in 1855 now has half of its vineyards adjacent to Château Latour and the other half behind Château Pichon Baron, on the heights of the locality "Bages", a large plateau in the south of Pauillac.

Vintage quality: Excellent (Legendary)
Current condition: Will keep
The 2022 vintage for Bordeaux looks set to be surprisingly good, despite the perilous growing season.
