The 2022 Haut-Brion Blanc is a powerful, deep white that is going to take a number of years to be at its best—not as many as the red wine, but several years just the same. Citrus confit, white flowers, sage, mint and chamomile open in the glass, and yet it is the wine's textural richness and viscosity that stand out most. 01/2025

The 2022 Haut-Brion Blanc has a complex bouquet with touches of Anjou pear, peach skin, melted wax and lanolin. It needs time to unfurl in the glass and perhaps never achieves the same complexity as the best vintages. The palate is well balanced with pear and green apple on the entry before segueing into a surprisingly spicy, peppery mid-palate with hints of stem ginger and white pepper. This will be intriguing to observe age in bottle, but I was not moved by this vintage. 01/2025

More flamboyant and expressive than La Mission, the 2022 Haut-Brion Blanc reveals aromas of white fruits, spices, ripe orchard fruits and spring flowers. Full-bodied, seamless and fleshy, with bright acids and a pure, lively profile, it's long and elegant, concluding with a saline, penetrating and delicately mordant finish. 03/2025

The 2022 Château Haut-Brion Blanc is one of the richer, more powerful wines from this château in some time. Sensational notes of ripe pineapple, honeyed white flowers, crushed stone, and even a hint of tangerine all shine here, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, layered, opulent style. Based on 51.4% Sémillon and 48.6% Sauvignon Blanc, the Grand Vin hit 14.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.38. It’s a brilliant wine to enjoy over the coming two decades. 02/2025

Couleur jaune pâle. Nez intense, fruité et légèrement réduit, qui devient plus floral, mentholé et réglissé à l'agitation. Ample à l'attaque, gras et dense en milieu de bouche, avec beaucoup de goût, le vin fond sur le palais. Il s'achève énergique, complexe, profond et incrachable. 02/2025

This shows superb structure with a tight and intense center palate of fruit and phenolics. It's full-bodied but extremely reserved and muscular with very fine texture. The palate shows apples, pears, lemons and some crushed stones. Lilacs as well. Really minerally. A great Haut Brion blanc. Drink after 2029. 01/2025
