Looking for a wine that’s smooth, fun and perfect for any day? Enter the 2016 Château Haut Belfort. This isn’t just any Bordeaux—it’s the ULTIMATE Bordeaux daily sipper and it comes from one of the best vintages in recent years.

The 2016 is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, delivering that classic, easy-drinking Bordeaux style with all the right notes. It’s juicy, full of red fruit, and just the right amount of tannin to make you feel like you’re sipping something special—because you are.

Why’s it so good? Well, the 2016 vintage in Bordeaux was epic. Vinous Media called it “absolutely remarkable” and gave it a 98-point rating, saying it has perfect balance. And we couldn’t agree more. It’s bright, vibrant, and full of life—everything you want in a wine that can take you from dinner to hangouts to everything in between.

The Château Haut Belfort comes from the Left Bank of Bordeaux, where the terroir is anything but ordinary. The soil—sand, gravel, clay, stones—gives this wine its complexity and depth, making it easy to see why this place is so legendary. Mr. Didier Chapellan, who runs the estate, knows how to get the best from the land and turn it into a bottle that feels like a celebration every time you pop the cork.

This wine is made to be enjoyed every day. Thanks to careful winemaking (think thermovinification for bold color and fruity aromas), it’s perfect for pairing with whatever you’re cooking—whether that’s a hearty steak, a simple cheese plate, or just a comfy meal with friends.

You’ll love the everyday vibe it brings to your table, but it’s got the pedigree of a true Bordeaux from an unforgettable year. Ready to step up your wine game without breaking the bank? This 2016 is exactly what you need.

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2016 Château Haut Belfort offers bright red fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry, and plum, with smooth tannins and a touch of earthy complexity. Its lively acidity keeps it fresh, while a subtle graphite note adds depth, leading to a smooth, satisfying finish.

Deep ruby color, youthful. Pleasant nose of ripe fruit and licorice with a very well-integrated woody tone. The palate is dense, with present but extremely polished tannins. A beautifully crafted vintage that is beginning to reveal its full potential. ~90 Gilbert & Gaillard
