  "textContent": "The story of the modern Bordeaux chateau begins with Château Haut-Brion. Early documentation of the land dates back to Roman times when a nobleman named Pesus owned a villa on what is now the Haut-Brion estate. In fact, Pesus’s presence there lent the surrounding commune its modern-day name, Pessac. The Romans left Bordeaux in the 4th century CE, but it wasn’t until the 15th century that the property’s first vines were planted. Around this time, the region began to grow, economically and politically, and with that growth came a burgeoning wine scene.\n\nThe article Wine 101: Haut-Brion Part I: A Mound of Earth appeared first on VinePair.",
