The tasting
Color Carmine-purple red, of beautiful intensity, brilliant.
Nose A beautifully pure and precise nose, with bright notes of black fruit, a hint of graphite, and a touch of fresh black truffle — all supported by gentle oak aging that brings just the right touch of roundness and complexity, without masking the wine’s natural character.
Palate Dense and full-bodied, this vintage reveals a beautiful, noble and generous substance. A very successful wine!

The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An unmatched benchmark for quality at this price, Château Fleur Haut-Gaussens has few equals. Consistently brushing shoulders with top-tier wines, and featured in France’s Guide Vert by RVF — the country’s leading wine magazine — this model estate regularly earns its place among Bordeaux’s must-haves.
Wine The 2020 Château Fleur Haut-Gaussens Red opens with a refined nose of ripe black fruit, fresh black truffle, and a touch of graphite, all wrapped in elegant, well-integrated oak. On the palate, it’s dense and generous, with a vibrant, polished texture and beautifully balanced structure. A characterful wine that’s ready to enjoy now — especially with roast meats — but will also reward a few more years in the cellar.
Vinification Mechanical harvesting after several maturity checks, the berries are then sorted three times. Cold pre-fermentation maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and natural malolactic fermentation. Aged 50% in French oak barrels for 8 months.
