In a few words ...
Haut Bages Libéral, the 5th Cru Classé, is located on the heights of the lieu-dit Bages, a large, high-quality gravelly plateau to the south of Pauillac. The vineyard, currently undergoing organic conversion, covers 30 hectares, part of which is located in the immediate vicinity of Châteaux Latour and Pichon Longueville Baron. J. Suckling: 94-95/100
A fine cuvée perfectly representative of the Pauillac terroir.
