Tasting Notes

The 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a light, finely delineated bouquet with grapefruit, kiwi fruit and a light sea spray scent. The palate is well balanced with delicate pear and melon notes. It is lightly spiced with a bright finish. Fine.

Score: 89 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2025-2036 Date: 12 February 2025

Aromatics major on sage and citrus, with plenty of juicy grapefruit, white pepper and apricot pit on the palate. Delivers texture and lift, even touches of Sauvignon signature, with white flowers on the finish. Not quite the grip of the very best vintages of Clarté, but this is a lovely wine. 38% new oak for ageing. Single point upgrade from En Primeur.

The 2022 La Clarté de Haut Brion is a very pretty, floral dry white. Tangerine peel, sage, mint, dried flowers and lemon peel are all beautifully delineated. Sauvignon Blanc drives the blend, and that comes through in the wine's strong varietal orchard fruit and tomato leaf notes Vibrant and steely, the 2022 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years.

The 2022 La Clarté De Haut-Brion Blanc checks in as 53.7% Sauvignon and 46.3% Sémillon. It's a killer second wine that readers will love, offering bright lemon and lime fruits, some floral, chalky mineral nuances, medium to full body, and a focused, vibrant style on the palate that brings plenty of richness while staying refreshing and lively.

A blend of 53.7% Sauvignon Blanc and 46.3% Sémillon, the 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a delicate yet lively bouquet intermingling aromas of lemon, lime tree, perfectly ripe pear and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and energetic, it's a fresh, perfectly balanced wine with a delicate, fruity and slightly tannic finish.

Score: 91 - 93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Date: 28 April 2023

Aromas of oyster shell and crushed stone with lemon curd and dried lemon. Full and layered with a chewy, phenolic texture and a long and flavorful finish. Wonderful. 53.7% sauvignon blanc and 46.3% semillon.
