Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 91

Drink To: 2026-2037

With a rich and complex history, the estate has been called several names over the centuries, including Château de Canolle, La Rivette, Brion-Larrivet and Haut-Brion Larrivet, taking on its current name in 1929. In 1987, the Gervoson family acquired Château Larrivet Haut-Brion and set about restoring it to its former glory. The estate has some excellent terroir being situated very close to Haut Bailly as well as having vines that border Smith Haut Lafitte. Set over a hundred hectares, Château Larrivet Haut-Brion have been at the forefront of viticultural innovation, seeing them undergo an ambitious modernisation programme in both the cellar and vineyard (that includes a pneumatic winepress, optical sorting of grapes and detailed soil surveys). 11 of the 72 hectares are dedicated to white varieties comprising c.80% Sauvignon Blanc and c.20% Semillon. The average vine age is 25 years, which gives this wine fantastic concentration, whilst barrel maturation and lees stirring add additional richness and complexity.

Neal Martin

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a tempting nose even at this stage, with plenty of lifted tropical fruit, mango and pineapple, not complex but you soon fall for its charms. The palate is well balanced. This is one of those white Bordeaux that is not intellectual, though you are not going to complain when it fills your glass, and you'll probably be asking for another.
