Antonio Galloni

The 2018 La Clarte de Haut-Brion is absolutely gorgeous. Bright, aromatic and so expressive, the Clarte hits all the right notes. Lemon confit, sage, dried herbs, mint and flowers grace this taut, finely-knit dry white. The 2018 is both supple but nervy, a balance that works so well in this vintage. In a word: terrific.

La Clarte de Haut-Brion is the second wine of both Haut-Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, produced from the declassified selections from both estates. The 2018 La Clarte de Haut-Brion is a blend of 79.2% Semillon and 20.8% Sauvignon Blanc. It springs from the glass with vibrant scents of fresh grapefruit, lemon zest and key lime pie, plus suggestions of paraffin wax, sea spray and straw. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers thirst-quenching citrusy layers with a lively backbone and a decadent touch of creaminess to the texture, finishing with lovely purity.

Diam closure. 80% Semillon. Mixture of creaminess and something green - gooseberry fool?! Light, sweet start and something just a little hesitant. Definite sweetness with a bit of grip on the end.
