Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc 2023

Jane Anson - Inside Bordeaux

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Sémillon, matured in 25% new 500-liter barrels and 75% new standard barrels, the 2023 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc evokes aromas of confit citrus, white peach, verbena and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and round palate that’s perfectly balanced with racy acids and a long, mouthwatering finish. As usual, this is an excellent result.

Exotic melon, honeyed orange, minty flowers, and spice all define the 2023 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc, a beautifully textured, layered, elegant white from this team. Based on 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Sémillon and aged eight months in 70% new French oak, it's medium-bodied on the palate, with integrated acidity and a great finish. This is a seriously impressive white that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2026-2040.

James Suckling

Dried apple and pineapple aromas with some lemon undertones. Full-bodied and phenolic, with dried fruit and lots of chewy tannins. Salty touch. Solid and rich for the vintage. A little old school. 95% sauvignon blanc and 5% semillon. Aged exclusively in barrel. Drink now.
