Château Larrivet Haut Brion Blanc Pessac Leognan 2022

"Aromas of spices, lemon oil, lime tree, verbena, exotic, menthol and iodine introduce the 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and sapid wine with a succulent core of fruit and a penetrating, fresh and saline finish. This blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Sémillon, maturing in 70% new oak and 30% wood tank or foudres, is a strong effort."
91-93/100 Punkte

"This is solid with dried pineapple, grapefruit and apple character. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and depth. Phenolics are all there. Serious. 86% sauvignon and the rest semillon."
95-96/100 Punkte

"Mittleres Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Gelbe Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Mango und Pfirsich, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten und Blütenhonig. Kräftig, feine Fruchtsüße, zart nach Passionsfrucht im Abgang, bleibt haften, ein stoffiger Begleit- er bei Tisch."
92/100 Punkte

"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."
