Notes: Le Point 15/20, RVF Special Vintage 2008: between 15.5 and 17.5/20
Château Haut-Maurac, run by Olivier Decelle, is a reflection of the progress he has made at his other properties (Châteaux Jean-Faure and Haut-Ballet, and Mas Amiel in Maury): making it one of the benchmarks of its appellation. This challenge has been successfully met with this powerful and aromatic Haut-Médoc with delicate oak notes, from the excellent 2008 vintage.
