Citrus, herbal, elderflower, peas, lots of Sauvignon notes on the nose. Clean and crisp, bite and freshness here, sharp and lively. A wonderful combination of juicy and fleshy peach with bright lime and grapefruit pith offering sweetness, sharpness, bitterness and coolness. Well constructed with lots of enjoyable drinking promise. Doesn't shout so much right now, but there's grip, intensity and finesse. Elegant yet characterful. Harvest 22 - 31 August. Aged eight months. Derenoncourt consultants.

Joli nez marqué par un exotisme exubérant, souligné par des arômes d'ananas et de pamplemousse. En bouche, l’attaque est marquée par la rondeur et le gras, alliant tension et ampleur. L'acidité est maîtrisée et bien équilibrée. Des arômes citronnés reviennent du début à la fin pour donner de la fraîcheur. Ce millésime est caractérisé par son élégance.

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a tempting nose even at this stage, with plenty of lifted tropical fruit, mango and pineapple, not complex but you soon fall for its charms. The palate is well balanced. This is one of those white Bordeaux that is not intellectual, though you are not going to complain when it fills your glass, and you'll probably be asking for another.

Nez intense, fruit magnifique, silex, fleurs blanches, bouche opulente, avec du gras, des arômes persistants, de la tenue et une excellente vivacité. Riche et tendu.

The 2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is going to be outstanding, if not more. Offering a vivid gold hue as well as ample citrus, orange blossom, mint, and some honeyed, mineral notes, it's medium-bodied, has good acidity, and terrific overall balance. Despite coming from a hot, stressful year, this is lively, pure, and beautifully done. Tasted twice.

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is a wild, exotic wine. Passionfruit, pineapple, white flowers and tangerine oil lend a distinctly tropical profile. The Blanc is exuberant and effusive, a bit out of control, but in a good way. Drinking window : 2025-2030

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc features baked apples, poached pears, and toasted almonds scents with touches of lime leaves and baking bread. The medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity of spicy apple and savory flavors, supported by a crisp backbone, finishing long and spicy.

White flowers, grapefruit, spearmint, orange, mango, green apple, and pineapple show in the nose. From there you find sweet, yellow and orange citrus, pineapple, and pears from start to finish on the mid-palate through to the end note. The nose is just great with all of its pineapple, white peach, honeysuckle, mango, orange rind, and waxy lemons in the perfume. Fresh, crisp and energetic, with a bit of chalk to accompany all the yellow fruits in the finish. The wine is produced from 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Semillon. 14% ABV, 3.24 pH. Drink from 2024-2028.

Aromas of spices, lemon oil, lime tree, verbena, exotic, menthol and iodine introduce the 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and sapid wine with a succulent core of fruit and a penetrating, fresh and saline finish. This blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Sémillon, maturing in 70% new oak and 30% wood tank or foudres, is a strong effort.

This is solid with dried pineapple, grapefruit and apple character. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and depth. Phenolics are all there. Serious. 86% sauvignon and the rest semillon.
