Les Hauts de Larrivet Haut-Brion 2021
Pessac-Léognan AOC, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
Second wine of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion, this blend of 78% Sauvignon Blanc and 22% Sémillon showcases the elegance and freshness typical of white Bordeaux. It balances fruit intensity with minerality and spice, offering a refined but approachable profile.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright notes of lemon peel, orange zest, ripe melon, and honeyed lemon. Layers of lemon curd, pineapple, and white peach skins are interlaced with spice, vanilla, and mint, plus a touch of green apple for lift.

Mouthfeel
Medium-to-full-bodied with rich texture and lively acidity. The palate carries citrus and orchard fruits with a spicy edge, leading to a long, refreshing finish. Balanced and energetic, with power but no heaviness.

Winemaking Notes
Carefully selected fruit is vinified to highlight Sauvignon Blanc’s freshness and Sémillon’s structure. Aging in oak adds depth and subtle spice while preserving clarity of fruit.

Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled scallops, roasted chicken with herbs, lobster risotto, or creamy goat cheese. Its structure also allows it to handle lightly spiced Asian seafood dishes.

Verdict
A well-structured and aromatic Bordeaux Blanc that punches above its “second wine” status. Already drinking beautifully but with the potential to age gracefully for several years. Elegant, versatile, and a smart buy from Pessac-Léognan. — 3 days ago

1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. Young, bold and bit more herbaceous than the rest and would benefit the most from good years lying down. Great potential. — a month ago

This was brilliant - still lots life left. Remarkably youthful. Notes of tobacco and red fruit on the nose. Elegant and refined. Super long finish. What a treat. Among the best I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Bravo @hautbrion. — 2 months ago
