The 2025 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is one of the most unique, extroverted whites in Bordeaux. Baked apple tart, candied ginger, pear and buttery Chassagne-like overtones blossom, conveying tons of nuance and character. This is impeccably done. 04/2026

The 2025 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a vibrant nose with citrus peel, lime and stony scents, well defined and with better vigour than I was expecting. The palate is well balanced with a peppery entry, fine acidity and texture. It just lacks a bit of complexity and grip on the finish; otherwise it will drink well for the next decade. 05/2026

A blend of 88% Sauvignon Blanc and 12% Sémillon from a warmer terroir near Léognan, the 2025 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is made in a more reductive style while still bringing ample fruit and concentration. Vibrant and pure aromatics of white peach, tropical flowers, and minty herbs all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish. I love the overall purity, balance, and complexity here. 05/2026

Couleur jaune pâle. Nez intense, fruité, fin. Nuance fraîche et suave à la fois. Vanille. Gras à l'attaque, très aromatique au milieu, légèrement fumé, le vin évolue juteux et noble vers une longue finale à la note subtile de framboise. C'est incrachable et buvable de suite. Assemblage : 88 % Sauvignon blanc, 12 % Sémillon. Degré d’alcool : 13°5. 04/2026

Medium- to full-bodied, with a foot on the fuller end of the spectrum. Textured but with a linear thread of acidity that makes it a joy to taste. Brilliant wine, with a combination of reduction and texture. Very salty on the finish. 05/2026
