Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Château Haura has an upfront, bold and generous bouquet with hints of fresh dates infusing the black cherry and dark plum fruit. The palate reins it back in with fine tannin, well-judged acidity and an impressive lattice of tannin. Focused, fresh and vibrant, this is an excellent lesser-known Graves from Denis Dubourdieu that comes highly recommended. Barrel Sample: 90-92 Points

Wine Spectator
A pretty wine, with gentle plum and cherry fruit, framed by a light sandalwood edge and ending with a mineral hint. Barrel Sample: 89-91 Points

Decanter
From Denis Dubourideu. Deep gravel soils show excellent, controlled damson punch. An exceptionally good effort from this relatively young property (as a red producer). Violet hints and mouthwatering freshness; great value and pleasure here. Barrel Sample.
Chateau Haura is an ancient property situated on two gravel mounds,
producing highly refined red and sweet white wines. Since 2002,
renowned winemaker Denis Dubourdieu (of Chateau Doisy-Daëne) has
been responsible for the production, with a corresponding leap in quality.
The vineyard consists of thirteen hectares of red grapes (53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot) and almost two hectares of white varieties (83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc). Ploughing is used in place of herbicide, and organic manure has replaced chemical fertilizers. Debudding and leaf removal are done by hand to control yield and sun exposure. In order to reduce their carbon footprint, there is also a forest on the estate equal to the size of the vineyards.
