General

Tasting Notes (recommended):The 2007 Haut-Brisson exhibits lots of rich red and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of herbs, spice box, and earth. It is a round, medium-bodied wine to drink over the next 5-6 years.

Soil:The 16 hectares of the vineyard lay across three communes: Saint-Emilion, Saint Sulpice de Faleyrens and Vignonet on a gentle slope of sandy top soil over gravel soil with clinker deeper down.
