Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion Blanc 2018

• James Suckling – (94 – 95)

A dense and very deep white with sliced-apple and dried-mango character. Full and layered. Lovely brightness, too. White truffle. Crazy.

• · Wine Advocate – Lisa Perrotti-Brown (92 – 94)

The Larrivet Haut-Brion 2018 Blanc sashays out of the glass with seductive tropical notes of lychees, mango and passion fruit plus hints of rose hip tea and crushed rocks with a waft of ginger. Medium to full-bodied, rich and oily in the mouth, it has a lovely line of freshness to lift the exotic fruits to a long finish.

• Decanter – Jane Anson (91)

Fleshy white fruits are given a focussed kick by some evident minerality, joined by rosemary and sage notes which add a huge amount to the overall sense of fresh summer days, and helping to temper the richer apricot and nectarine flavours.
