95 Points Decanter

Chateau Haut de la Becade, owned by the Rainaud family since the 1930's. They make just 600 cases per year.

Here is the thing...With Chateau Haut de Becade, it is all about location - This property sits smack dab in the middle of 7 classified growths. Look north you'll see Chateau Lynch Bages, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Chateau d'Armailhac, and Chateau Pontet Canet...look South and you'll see Chateau Pichon Baron, Chateau Pichon Lalande de Comtesse, and Chateau Latour.......all within about a 2-mile radius!


"Beautiful nose of blackberries, black cherries, cloves, black pepper, and a little dark chocolate. The wine has a compelling intensity of bramble fruits on the palate, energetic, and mouth filling, with elegance and finesse. Juicy, long finish. 95 points." - Decanter (WWA)
