2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan Blanc

This is a classic Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from Château Larrivet Haut-Brion. The grapes are hand-harvested from selected parcels in Pessac-Léognan and fermented and aged in French oak barrels with battonage for added complexity. Gravel and limestone soils bring minerality, precision and ageing potential. The aroma shows citrus, white peach, flowers and discreet toasted oak. The palate is layered, with ripe stone fruit, fresh herbs and creamy vanilla. The mouthfeel is full, silky and structured, with fresh acidity and a long mineral finish. Serve at 10-12°C.
