Tasting Notes:

A blend of 83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc, this effort reveals lots of oily citrus, orange marmalade, melons and honeysuckle characteristics. It should drink well young and last for 10-12 years

Score: 90 - 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Fragrant, with kiwifruit, plantain and lemon curd aromas and flavors, laced with honeysuckle. Features a toasted macadamia hint on the finish. Tasted non-blind.

Score: 91 - 94 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator

83% Sémillon, 17% Sauvignon Blanc. Pale greenish. Rich nose with a suggestion of the most exotic bath oil possible. Very fresh and again some citrus peel. A little dry and sudden on the finish. But there is great vivacity here. 13.8%

Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2025

Grapefruity and slightly exotic nose, fleshy Semillon fruit with Sauvignon lift, great harmony and length.

Score: 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2012-2018

A blend of 83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc, the second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc has a tight, shellfish tinged nose from the Semillon with hints of green lemon and pink grapefruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, crisp green apple tinged entry, good acidity here but perhaps just a little short towards the finish. Tasted March 2011.

Score: 86 - 88 Neal Martin, erobertparker.com

1100 cases made of this, the second wine of La Mission Haut Brion Blanc and Haut Brion Blanc (formerly known as Plantiers Haut Brion). Intense and pure with white fruit, justa little heady. Full with pear drops and soft peach finish.

Score: 91 - 94 Albany Vintners
