Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The second wine from the owners of Haut-Brion and La Mission-Haut-Brion, the 2012 La Clarte is a blend of 58% Semillon and 42% Sauvignon Blanc. This strong effort boasts beautiful notes of apricots, honey, candle wax and melons in a rich, full-bodied, concentrated format. A stunner, it should age effortlessly for a decade or more.
James Suckling
A firm a fresh wine with lemons and minerals. Medium body, with bright acidity and a lemon, mineral and fruity finish. Lots of apples and pears.
decanter Magazine
A snapshot of the grand vin, 2012 La Clarté is showing some wonderful evolution with a green-gold hue, intense smoky notes, purposeful acidity and honeyed, candied fruit on the refined, lengthy palate.
Andreas Larsson - Tasted
Very fine, flinty and mineral style with roasted nuts, citrus, grape and pineapple. Firm, grippy and long bright finish, very pure and elegant.
VertdeVin
The nose is fruity, crunchy and fresh. It reveals notes of white fruits (apple, pear) and slight notes of citrus associated with a hint of mirabelle plum, a fine touch of honeysuckle as well as a discreet touch of exotic fruits. The palate is fruity, gourmand, elegant, relatively gourmande and offers suavity and fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of citrus (orange, lemon, clementine) associated with a fine hint of pear, peach as well as a discreet touch of exotic fruits (mango, quenette) and a very discreet hint of toasted oak.
Wine Enthusiast
Just touched by wood, this second white wine from both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion is tangy, just hinting at herbaceousness. It has plenty of acidity, crisp citrus and pear flavors with a touch of spice from the wood aging. The wine is developing fast, drink from 2017.

Tasting note
'There is a riot of aromas as soon as you put your nose into the glass. The considerable freshness is complemented by citrus (grapefruit) and tropical fruit (pineapple) nuances and even a touch of white truffle. This same aromatic complexity carries over to the palate, which is remarkably fresh and fruity. 2012 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is rich, with a soupçon of bitterness and a salty tang on the finish that calls for another glass. This is well and truly a delicious wine.'

Vänstra stranden | Médoc & Péssac-Léognan
88 poäng
Sval och blöt tidigt ledde till ojämn skörd och sjukdomar, medan torr, varm augusti resulterade i en del blockerad mognad; Septemberregn hjälpte, men skördeperioden var kort innan oktoberregnen anlände, vilket lämnade några caberneter märkta av strama tanniner; Péssac och Margaux gynnade framför övre Médoc; mer inkonsekvent överlag än högra stranden.
Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion
90 poäng
Tidig mognad Merlot gynnas i allmänhet framför väsntra strandens Cabernet. Lerjordar med god vattenretention höll vinstockar igång under augustitorkan, medan grus lätt rann av de senare regnet. Pomerol mycket fast; St.-Emilion mer inkonsekvent med vissa viner som är benägna att överextraktion.
