Château LARRIVET HAUT-BRION
Dry white
- 2020
- Pessac-Leognan white
Known to produce Léognan's most voluminous and expressive white wine, Larrivet Haut-Brion has gained in freshness, precision and aromatic complexity since the arrival of Mr Lemoine (cellar master from Montrose), advised by Mr Derenoncourt, and vinifications in ovoid vats.
Rated 90/100 by N. Martin « The 2020 Larrivet Haut-Brion (white) has a lovely bouquet with scents of honeysuckle, jasmine, melon and light lemon verbena aromas. The aok is nicely integrated here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh, lively with pretty peachy notes surfacing towards the finish. Delightful, if early-drinking white Pessac.» (December 2022)

The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Pale yellow colour. Intense nose of fresh, ripe fruit, pure and subtle, developing a hint of hazelnut and peach as the glass is shaken. Meticulous on the entry, very aromatic in the middle and above all very well constructed, with a fat touch, the wine melts on the palate, very fruity and less woody than is often the case at this age. The finish is long and sappy. Dense and meticulous. A great success". (April 2022)

Rated 92/100 by Neal Martin after bottling « It delivers a finely detailed, peppery finish that is just quintessentially Graves/Pessac. Excellent. » (Feb. 2020)
Rated 95/100 by Antonio Galloni after bottling « The 2017 Larrivet Haut-Brion is a seriously impressive wine. Bold, rich and intense, the 2017 exudes tremendous depth and intensity. » (March 2020)
Rated 91/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Bouche toute en délicatesse de toucher avec de la sève, du goût et une belle présence entre le milieu et la finale. Persistance complexe et savoureuse. Vin très original que le gel a contraint à un assemblage très cabernet sauvignon. » (Oct. 2020)
