2019 Chateau Larrivet-Haut-Brion blanc - Pessac-Leognan AC

Decanter.com – 94 pts – GH: *Gorgeous nose, pineapple, passionfruit and mandarin - smells so expressive. Fully flavoured on the palate, this is a rich and heady wine filled with fruit and texture. The frame is large and structured and given spicy edges from the wood ageing. Feels round and alive. Still very youthful with bright lemon, grapefruit and mango touches. Despite its power and concentration it's polished and quite charming with precision and clarity on show. Tasted twice. 3.17pH.* - 01/2022

Falstaff Magazin – 92 pts – PM: *Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Zarte Holzwürze, Nuancen von Lanolin, weiße Tropenfrucht, Lemongras, attraktives Bukett. Mittlere Komplexität, feine gelbe Tropenfrucht, feiner Säurebogen, etwas Grapefruit, elegant und anhaftend.* - 06/2020

WeinWisser – 17/20pts - GL, TW: *Helles Gelb. Intensives Grapefruitbouquet, dahinter zarter Kreideton und Limetten. Am schlanken Gaumen mit nerviger Rasse, stützenden Wachsnoten und pfeffrigem Extrakt. Im aromatischen Finale Karambole und Agrumen.* – 04/2020

Vinous.com – 93 pts – AG: *The 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is incredibly distinctive, and delicious, too. Lemon confit, passionfruit, mint, jasmine and tropical accents are beautifully delineated in a creamy, layered Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend that is so alluring. The 30% Sémillon comes through loud and clear in the wine's textural feel.* - 01/2022

Vinous.com – 92 pts – NM: *The 2019 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a forward nose of upfront orange pith, white peach and honeysuckle scents, perhaps a little more tropical than its peers. The palate is well balanced and tangy, with fine acidity, good depth and a slither of marmalade toward the finish. Very fine.* - 12/2021

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 94 pts – JL: *Green apple, tangerine, lemon chiffon, pomelo, pineapple and floral notes on the nose are made better with all the sweet, ripe, yellow citrus lemon peel, green apple and white peach in the fresh, zesty, yellow citrus, packed finish. Drink from 2022-2035.* - 03/2022
