Château Haut-Bages Averous
once belonged to the Pauillac family Averous. Its
vineyard, as Lynch-Bages' was spread around the
gravelly plateau that surrounds the hamlet of Bages.
United in 1973 with its great
neighbour, its name today designates the second label
of the grand cru, fruit of a strict selection
process.
Made from a blend of wines
originating from the youngest vines on the property
(between 3 and 12 years old) and from plots chosen for
the roundness and fruit in the wines they
produce.
The style of Haut-Bages Averous
is close to that of Lynch-Bages, with a typical
Pauillac structure.
Its wines bloom earlier than
those of its elder sibling and allow earlier drinking
as well.
