WINE DESCRIPTION
"Château La Haye" is a gem within the Saint-Estèphe appellation, an area known for producing wines of great depth and structure. As one of the oldest estates in the region, Château La Haye boasts a rich history dating back to 1557, with a legacy of quality that has been upheld through generations. The vineyard's prime location on gravelly soils, typical of Saint-Estèphe, contributes to the concentrated flavors and firm tannins that characterize its wines. Modern winemaking techniques, coupled with respect for traditional practices, ensure that each bottle reflects the estate's heritage and the terroir's distinct qualities. The wine is crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with Merlot, which imparts softness and complexity. This careful balance between grape varieties and the meticulous attention to viticulture and vinification make Château La Haye a standout expression of Saint-Estèphe.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château La Haye Saint-Estèphe exudes sophistication and elegance from the first sip.The nose is greeted with an intricate bouquet of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and a hint of cedar, indicative of its careful aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine demonstrates remarkable structure, with a robust backbone of tannins that promise aging potential, yet it remains approachable in its youth. Notes of ripe fruit are beautifully interwoven with undertones of tobacco, graphite, and a touch of spice, leading to a finish that is both long and memorably harmonious.
