位於波爾多的Chateau Haut Bages Libéral位於Pauillac村南邊，“Bages”是本村一處礫石台地的地名，排水良好的貧瘠土壤提供了優異的種植葡萄環境；酒莊名稱的Libéral則是源自18世紀時的酒莊主人。本酒莊在1855年的分級名列五級酒莊。1983年起酒商背景的Villars家族入主本酒莊，2000年起是由年輕一代的女莊主Claire Villars-Lurton掌管，她事必躬親地全心全意投入酒莊大小事務，讓本酒莊近年來的表現越來越耀眼。

The 2019 Haut-Bages-Libéral has turned out superbly, offering up aromas of wild berries, cassis, licorice, rose petals and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate, its powdery structuring tannins hidden in an ample core of lively, succulent fruit. From biodynamically farmed vineyards located on clay-limestone and gravel soils to the north of Château Latour (as well as a parcel of gravel sandwiched between Pichon-Baron and Lynch-Bages), this is a terrific effort from an estate that deserves to be much better known.
