Tasting Notes

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a delightful, if simple, nose with pineapple and subtle tropical fruit scents. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity and a touch of almond and vanilla. It gains cohesion with a pretty, apricot-tinged finish. This is very fine.

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is elegant and supremely polished. Tangerine peel, apricot, white flowers and a kiss of French oak are all laced together. The Blanc offers a compelling mix of textural richness and brightness. All the elements are impeccably balanced as mineral notes lift the finish. Striking.

The 2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is going to be outstanding, if not more. Offering a vivid gold hue as well as ample citrus, orange blossom, mint, and some honeyed, mineral notes, it's medium-bodied, has good acidity, and terrific overall balance. Despite coming from a hot, stressful year, this is lively, pure, and beautifully done. Tasted twice.

Luscious ripe apricot and white pear fruits, velvety texture, with plenty of concentration and depth. A gourmet white that has appeal but needs more lift on the finish, as is so often the case in this vintage. 70% new oak, 30% wooden casks, harvest August 26 to 29. Bruno Lemoine managing director.

Aromas of spices, lemon oil, lime tree, verbena, exotic, menthol and iodine introduce the 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and sapid wine with a succulent core of fruit and a penetrating, fresh and saline finish. This blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Sémillon, maturing in 70% new oak and 30% wood tank or foudres, is a strong effort. YC

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

This is solid with dried pineapple, grapefruit and apple character. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and depth. Phenolics are all there. Serious. 86% sauvignon and the rest semillon.
