Vintage Report
Château Haut Dambert Rouge 2021 Bordeaux Supérieur, France
Château Haut Dambert Rouge 2021 is a classic red Bordeaux Supérieur from Vignobles Buffeteau, made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This half bottle of 0.375L is ideal when you want to open a serious, oak-aged Bordeaux without needing a full bottle. The wine combines dark fruit, subtle toasted notes, and a round structure, with the recognizable power of old vines and 12 months of oak aging.
Vineyards and Region
Château Haut Dambert is located in Gornac, in the southern part of Entre Deux Mers, within the broader Bordeaux region.
• Location / Origin: The vineyards are located around Gornac and Castelviel, approximately 40 km southeast of Bordeaux. This part of Entre Deux Mers is known for accessible Bordeaux wines with abundant fruit, suppleness, and structure.
• Soil: The estate's vineyards combine high clay soils with plateaus of asteriated limestone. Clay helps give the wine body and roundness, while limestone provides tension and a fresher undertone.
• Vineyard: Within the family, Château Haut Dambert primarily focuses on Bordeaux Supérieur and Bordeaux Blanc. The red wine comes from a more traditional line, emphasizing old vines, ripe grapes, and oak aging.
• Vineyard & Harvest: The grapes are monitored for ripeness per parcel. By choosing the right harvest moment, the fruit remains full and ripe, while the wine retains enough freshness.
Vinification and Aging
The vinification aligns with the classic Bordeaux approach, focusing on extraction, structure, and careful oak aging.
• Harvest & Selection: The grapes are harvested at high ripeness. This gives this Bordeaux Supérieur its dark fruit, fuller attack, and solid foundation.
• Fermentation: The red wines are made in a temperature-controlled cellar. This allows for precise control over the extraction of color, fruit, and tannins.
• Aging / Oak Aging: The wine ages for 12 months in oak. This aging imparts notes of toast, spiciness, and extra roundness, giving the dark fruit more depth.
Grape Composition
The blend consists of 2 classic Bordeaux grapes.
• Cabernet Sauvignon – Bordeaux Supérieur: Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure, cassis, dark spiciness, and length.
• Merlot – Bordeaux Supérieur: Merlot brings roundness, ripe plum fruit, and a smoother texture to the blend.
Tasting Notes and Serving Suggestions
Deep ruby red in the glass, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, soft spices, and light toasted notes. The taste is round and full, with dark fruit, present tannins, a spicy oak touch, and a balanced finish.
• Serving Temperature: Serve Château Haut Dambert Rouge 2021 at 16–18 °C, so that the dark fruit, spiciness, and oak aging come together beautifully.
• Dishes: Pair with entrecôte, stew, lamb chops, mixed grill, oven-baked mushrooms, or semi-hard cheeses.
Awards
• Gold Medal, Concours de Bordeaux (2021 vintage): Strong regional recognition for Château Haut Dambert Cuvée Grand Chêne Bordeaux Supérieur Rouge from the 2021 vintage.
