Hailing originally from Schonberg, Germany, the Yung family fled their home in the early 19th century to escape the Napoleonic Wars. The family originally settled in Algeria, and in 1859 the first Yung planted vines they would tend for the next hundred years. In 1962, the family moved once again, this time to Bordeaux, where young Charles truly began his own winemaking journey.

Currently, the Yung family has 153 hectares under vine in Bordeaux. Charles has stepped into an advisory role, as his sons Jean Christophe and Rodolphe have taken over the management of the business and continue the family tradition.

Château Haut-Mondain showcases quality that is practically silly at this price; this is classic Claret from chalky clay hillsides in the Entre-Deux-Mers.

The 2022 Château Haut Mondain Bordeaux, a blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon and 15% merlot, has aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, and jammy blackberries entwined with subtle dried plum and cherry notes. The palate is full-bodied and silky, mirroring the ripe, concentrated fruit characters found on the nose. These are complemented by a hint of red spice and cedar, alongside smoky, earthy notes and undertones of licorice and chocolate. The finish is long and generous, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and a hint of white pepper.
