2024 Château Larrivet Haut Brion Blanc

The 2024 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc comes across a little oaky on the nose at present, so the question is how well that will integrate during its élevage and in bottle. The palate is more peachy and tropical in style, which might lend it wider appeal, but I have encountered more complex vintages in recent years. - Neal Martin (04/2025)

A structured, dense and generous white with spiced apples, cedar and sweet spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright acidity. Juicy fruit character here ,with a solid frame and a long focused finish. (04/2025)

A brilliant white based on 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon, aged in 70% new oak and 30% wooden vats, the 2024 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc shows stone fruits, tons of classy matchstick-like reduction, and integrated oak. Medium-bodied, pure, and layered on the palate, it offers beautiful concentration and impressive length. (05/2025)

Notes of struck flint and elderflower lead to a core of pineapples and green mango with a waft of cedar. The light-bodied palate is crisp and pure with great intensity and a long steely finish. (05/2025)

Unfurling in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of smoke, white flowers, citrus and oak, the 2024 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is medium-bodied, supple and juicy with a sappy attack and a long, elegant finish despite some clove notes in the aftertaste. - Yohan Castaing (04/2025)
