Château LARRIVET HAUT-BRION
Dry white
- 2023
- Pessac-Leognan white
Known for producing a full-bodied, expressive, even exuberant white wine, Larrivet Haut-Brion has gained freshness and tension in recent vintages, thanks to its new vat room incorporating smaller containers (including 20% concrete eggs). Its young director, Charlotte Mignon, has also undertaken a major agroforestry project in the vineyard to promote biodiversity and protect the vines from global warming.

Roundness, suppleness and depth of flesh are the hallmarks of the consensual red wines produced in Larrivet Haut-Brion, advised by Mr. Rolland until 2014 and then by Mr. Derenoncourt. No link between Larrivet (in Léognan) and Haut-Brion (in Pessac).
The 2022 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - January 2025): 94/100 "The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion is dense, powerful and explosive. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice and mocha are amplified in this dramatic, deeply resonant wine. Gorgeous."
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 92/100 "Dark, intense, slightly evolved colour. Very aromatic nose, with ripe fruit. A touch of sunshine when the glass is shaken. Delicious from the outset, with plenty of flavour in the middle, the wine melts on the palate. Juicy and flavoursome on the palate, with a woven finish that tightens before releasing its aroma. Good fragrant length."
Bettane + Desseauve (Guide 2026) : 93/100
