Classy Merlot charm on the nose and good Cabernet firmness on the finish with a feminine touch from owner Bérangère Tesseron.

Profil élégant avec un tannin justement enrobé qui s’étire de belle façon et une finale poivrée de bonne facture. Ce sera un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

The 2015 Larrivaux is dark, fleshy and open-knit. Sweet red cherry, plum, cinnamon and lavender flesh out in a succulent, forward Haut-Médoc that delivers plenty of depth and nuance at its level. This is a strong showing from Larrivaux. Tasted three times.

Mid crimson. Sweet ink on the nose - by no means unpleasant! Sweet and a little simple on the palate. Where's the beef?

The 2015 Larrivaux is a blend of 41% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. It has a lovely roundness and impressive depth of fruit on the nose: layers of vanilla-tinged blackberry and raspberry. The palate is medium-bodied with quite "thick" tannin on the entry, that Petit Verdot adding a seasoning to the blend - white pepper, a touch of spice. It is a bold Larrivaux with plenty of substance that may need 3-4 years in bottle. This will be worth seeking out. Drink 2020-2032
