An evening with HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg, of Château Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion

 
It was with great pleasure that on Thursday 26th November, we played host to HRH Prince Robert of Luxembourg for our exclusive Château Haut Brion Dinner.
 
The luxurious surroundings of Calcot Manor in Gloucestershire were a perfect backdrop in which to enjoy these spectacular wines. And I’d not only like to thank Prince Robert for making this a truly memorable wine dinner but also to those of you in attendance on the night – judging by the response of those I spoke to, you enjoyed it just as much as we did!
 
We tasted many wonderful wines including the new Clarendelle range, La Mission Haut Brion 1998 (sublime!) and 2003 Bahans Haut Brion – one of the best vintages of this wine in recent years. But the highlight was undoubtedly two vintages of Château Haut-Brion itself – the 1990 and 1995- the perfect accompaniment to roast venison. Both were beautifully balanced, elegant and complex and although drinking very well already, I suspect they will go on to impress for a further 10 or 15 years.
 
All in all, a delightful evening made extremely special by the wines of this incredible first growth – I for one look forward to welcoming Prince Robert back very soon!
