This estate produces some exceptional first and second wines, both a red Premier Grand Cru Classé and a highly restricted dry white.

The Gascon geographic designation "Haut-Brion" refers to the gravelly elevated terrain situated between the Le Peugue and Le Serpent streams. It is derived from the Celtic word briga meaning hill or high place.

The estate was conceived and laid out in 1533 by Jean de Pontac, making it the oldest wine estate in Bordeaux. Their oldest vintage is a Premier Grand Cru, as per the first Classification of 1855.
