Les hauts de Larrivet Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan White Bordeaux Blend
This wine comes from an estate that has seen many names through the years, but great quality wine throughout. Classic to pessac-leognan/graves style using some new French oak, with ample acidity and layers of complexity - straw/golden color, meyer lemon, and crushed rock/gravel minerality. I called Pessac-leognan 2013 - guess I like my Bordeaux blanc.

May 17th, 2020Interesting. Light, and refreshing but not a ton of flavor.

Oct 25th, 2019Lemon, apple, quince? acidic and integrated oak. Well balanced paired up to steamed artichokes and halibut in fennel cream sauce.

Apr 26th, 2019Pretty nose of white flower, peach, lemon peel, star fruit, and petrol, with faint aroma of almond and honey. Palate is quite round and textured for a predominately Sauvignon Blanc (95% with the rest Semillon) blend that saw 11 months in barrel partially. Chrysanthemum tea like bitter sweet on the taste with a bit of saltiness. Clean but short finish.

Aug 29th, 2017Tropical, citrus, floral. Little creaminess on finish. Great on its own or with food.
