2014 La Clarte de Haut Brion blanc - Pessac-Leognan AC

Decanter.com – 90 pts – JA: *66% Sauvignon Blanc, 34% Semillon (the high malic acids with Sauvignon this year meant that they chose to put more in the second rather than first wine). This is definitely high in Sauvignon character, get the more grassy edges of Sauvignon, its wild pyrazine character. Lovely persistency, and in fact some subtle stone fruits to slide into during the mid palate. This holds back for a beat on the first attack then gives plenty of enjoyment. Some juicy freshness in the finish, definitely one for lovers of a classic fresh style, but still with structure.* - 04/2015

JancisRobinson.com - 17/20pts - JR: *Tasted blind. Light, rich lanolin nose with some refreshing lime-syrup character. Smoky and a little alcoholic but interesting in a catty way. Could only be from Pessac-Léognan. Broad and emphatic. Slightly chewy end.* - 02/2018

JamesSuckling.com - 96pts - JS: *Energetic white with sliced-apple, lemon and green-papaya aromas. Full-bodied, very vibrant, creamy, dense and powerful. So contrasty. Love it. Don’t miss this. 66% sauvignon blanc and 33% semillon. Drink or hold.* - 02/2017

Vinous.com - 92 pts - AG: *The château's second white wine, the 2014 Le Clarte de Haut-Brion is intense, brilliant and finely sculpted. Lemon confit, chalk, white pepper and sage add striking nuance to this vivid, super-expressive white. The Clarte is 66 % Sauvignon and 34 % Sémillon.* - 02/2017
