69% Sauvignon Blanc, 31% Semillon. Pure aromas of grapefruit and pear., aswell as more tropical notes of clementine and citrus. Elegant and precise with a hint of spice in the centre. Good intensity, power and complexity. Score: 95 - 97 Albany Vintners, - Date: 27 April 2016 |

69% Sauvignon Blanc, 31% Sémillon, 28 August to 7 September. Barrel-fermented with 50% new oak. 1993 was the last vintage with 100% new oak. Dense and lively. Turbo-charged Sauvignon! Some real elegance and lift - honey and the race of Sauvignon. Expressive. Score: 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2022-2032 Date: 01 April 2016 |

The 2015 Haut Brion Blanc is a blend of 69% Sauvignon Blanc and 31% Semillon that was picked between 28 August and 7 September. Like the 2015 La Mission Haut Brion Blanc, the bouquet was quite backward despite rigorous aeration, reluctantly proffering aromas of lime, citrus lemon, gooseberry and a touch of tinned peach. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, perhaps even more tensile and precise than the 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion with greengage, citrus lemon and a touch of pineapple furnishing the long finish. This is a beautifully crafted Haut Brion Blanc that will reward those with the nous to cellar it for 10-15 years.

Dense and very powerful with reserve and seamless phenolic. Full body, sliced apple and lemon rind. So long and flavorful. A beautiful and balanced wine. Undertones of oyster shell and stone. Excellent as always. Score: 96 - 97 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2016 |

The 2015 Haut-Brion Blanc brings together freshness with power like few wines in this vintage. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and ripe orchard fruit all open up in the glass. In this vintage, the white is Sauvignon Blanc dominated, but it doesn’t taste like it at all. Beams of salinity give the 2015 its focus and energy through the finish. This is a stellar showing. Score: 94 - 97 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Date: 01 April 2016 |
