Château Larrivet

Very pale yellow-green, silver reflections. Fresh gooseberry, a hint of fine yeast, delicate pineapple, inviting bouquet. Delicate reduction, juicy, powerful, elegant, subtle sweetness, fine acidity, lingers, delicate wood nuances with caramel on the finish, very promising.

Fine white Bordeaux wines offer a full-bodied white wine for those seeking an alternative to Chardonnay. The 2022 Larrivet Haut Brion Blanc is an outstanding example of the richness and complexity that can be found in Pessac-Léognan whites. The nose is full and forward with enchanting scents of peaches, pears, apricots and rich lemon backed by hints of cream, honey and herbs. Richly textured and creamy on the palate, it offers layers of peach, apricot and grapefruit plus lemon curd, herbs, vanilla and spices. If you haven’t tried a fine white Bordeaux recently, you owe it to your taste buds to try one like this. 92 Wayne Belding
