The 2016 Larrivet-Haut-Brion Blanc deftly balances textural resonance and freshness. Lifted floral notes convey energy, which is further brought out by the decision to ferment some of the wine in cement and concrete egg (along with French oak). The 2016 was expressive and quite inviting on all three occasions I tasted. Score: 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2019-2023 01 January 2019 |

The Larrivet Haut Brion 2016 Blanc has a touch more vigor and zip to it compared to other dry white Bordeaux. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, touches of green apple, pear and a touch of salinité on the finish. This is certainly one of the better dry white Bordeaux wines in 2016. Score: 89 - 91 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2018-2025 28 April 2017 |

Dense and rich with lots of ripe fruit and cooked-apple, lemon and peach character. Full body, bright acidity and phenolic texture to back it up. Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 04 April 2017 |

This sports a racy edge, with verbena and thyme flavors out front followed by lime pith and green plum notes. Good energy through the finish. Score: 89 - 92 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 03 April 2017 |
