Château Haut-Brion Launches its New Web Site
(PRWEB) June 16, 2010
Firmly anchored in tradition while maintaining an innovative spirit, the family-owned company Domaine Clarence Dillon, founded in 1935, belongs to the handful of producers responsible for Bordeaux’s most prestigious growths, where passion and commitment to quality are seen as essential to every aspect of winemaking, from conception to production. This exacting approach is also reflected in the development of the company’s online presence.
Already an innovator in this area in 1996, Château Haut-Brion was the first of France’s great wine estates to create a bilingual Web site (in French and English). Beginning in 1998, translations and adaptations of this site became available in Spanish, German, both Mandarin and Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
This trend-setting site also provided a forum and a search engine when first launched.
In 2010, to commemorate its 75th anniversary, Domaine Clarence Dillon offers all connoisseurs of the finest wines the opportunity to rediscover the spirit of its properties and the quality of its wines by launching three new sites dedicated to Domaine Clarence Dillon, Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion.
The Web site dedicated to Château Haut-Brion – http://www.haut-brion.com – leads the visitor on a thrilling journey through the prestigious property. Luxurious and elegant, it offers beautiful photos and high-quality videos to discover the property, the great know-how and the news.
Château Haut-Brion wines are also presented.
Two first wines: Château Haut-Brion (red) and Château Haut-Brion Blanc (white).
Two second wines: Le Clarence de Haut-Brion (red) and La Clarté de Haut-Brion (white).
