Le Clarence de Haut Brion 2009 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Pessac-Léognan region of Bordeaux. Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, the second wine of Château Haut-Brion, is skilfully assembled from vats that do not quite align with the final blend of Haut-Brion itself. Since 2007, it bears the name Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, as a tribute to Clarence Dillon, the purchaser of Haut-Brion in 1934. On the 2009. "This is very, very Haut-Brion. Perhaps this second wine is like the gran vin in 1995? Full body, with rich ripe tannins, with a silky texture. It is dense and powerful. Long and rich. Better in 2016. Best second wine of Haut-Brion ever? It has just about everything Haut-Brion has in an excellent year like this. Try in 2019." James Suckling 2012
