Tasting notes
Fresh and perfumed, the 2022 Blanc from Larrivet Haut-Brion exhibits aromas of white fruits, flowers, spring blossoms and confit citrus. Medium to full-bodied, charming and enrobing, it has a lively, vibrant and juicy core of fruit, delicate acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish. This blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Sémillon is a real success.

An exotic, upfront, expressive white, the 2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has ample orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and spicy notes as well as a richer, broad, layered style on the palate. It brings beautiful depth and richness, medium to full body, and outstanding length. Based on 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Semillon, it's a white geared for the dinner table.
The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a delightful, if simple, nose with pineapple and subtle tropical fruit scents. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity and a touch of almond and vanilla. It gains cohesion with a pretty, apricot-tinged finish. This is very fine.
A crisp, crunchy white with guava, grapefruit, lemongrass and spice on the nose. Salty elements follow on a medium-bodied, textured palate that builds in flavor. Long, vibrant and wonderfully concentrated. Sauvignon and semillon. Drink or hold.
