In the early 18th century, the Libéral family, the owners of the Château, attached their name to the property, and forever changed its destiny. Over time, these astute connoisseurs acquired some of the finest terroirs in the south of the Pauillac appellation. Château Haut-Bages Libéral’s 30-hectare vineyard has one half located on the historical parcel « bages », whose its name makes reference to. The other half borders the Château Latour and runs along the Gironde estuary. The proximity of the estuary also gives the Haut-Bages Libéral vineyard a unique character due to the clay-limestone soil. This lends Château Haut-Bages Libéral’s wines a certain minerality, further adding to their distinctiveness. The 1855 classification crowned this ascent with the obtaining of the title of Grand Cru Classé.
