Bordeaux's Haut-Brion Buys Neighbor

(WineSpectator) - Domaine Clarence Dillon, which includes Bordeaux first-growth Haut-Brion, recently completed its purchase of Domaine Allary Haut-Brion from the Allary family. The 3.3-acre parcel, which borders Haut-Brion, had been owned by the Allary family since 1919. The purchase price was not disclosed. The land had been appraised and valued at roughly $1.4 million in March 2008.
"It was a natural course of events," Daniel Allary told Wine Spectator. "We experimented making the wine ourselves for a few years, but it was such a small quantity."
