Description

James Suckling 92

Aromas of sweet currants with nutmeg and cinnamon follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins that are refined and polished, giving the wine tension and focus. Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and malbec. Try after 2025.

Wine Enthusiast 91

"The Cardon family, also owners of Château Bellevue Cardon in Pauillac, have produced a wine that is rich in smoky tannins. Its structure, still firm, is also juicy with blackberry fruits. It should be ready to drink from 2026."

Château La Haye is part of a long wine tradition dating back to 1557 when Sire Janot Bernard of Leyssac acquired the property and planted the first vines. The Châteaux is one of the oldest in Saint-Estèphe and has remained within the same family for 370 years.
