Fruity

The “Blanc Sec” white from Larrivet Haut-Brion shines with its aromatic purity.

From the first nose, it evokes ripe citrus, white flowers, and sometimes exotic fruits with a hint of fresh grass depending on the vintage.
On the palate, it combines volume, freshness, and texture: the Sauvignon brings liveliness and a lemony character, while the Sémillon adds roundness and complexity. Wood is used with finesse in certain vintages (barriques, concrete eggs, tuns) to add depth without overpowering the fruit.

The finish reveals a beautiful persistence, a saline/mineral tension, reminiscent of the terroir.

A gourmet white to be enjoyed young for its freshness or allowed to mature for greater complexity.

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a beautiful Pessac-Léognan estate, located in Léognan, on the Bordeaux hills near Haut-Bailly.

Acquired in 1987 by the Gervoson family, the estate has since established itself as an elegant, modern, and terroir-inspired wine.
The vineyard covers approximately 72 hectares, including ~61 hectares for the red wines and ~11.5 hectares for the white wines.

The soils are typical of the Graves region: sandy gravel, light clay, and limestone subsoil, ensuring perfect drainage and a beautiful mineral expression.
The red grape varieties are centered on Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Merlot and Cabernet Franc, while the whites are based on Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon (and sometimes Sauvignon Gris) for the “dry white” vintages.

The estate combines tradition and innovation: careful viticultural practices, aging in new barrels or various containers, and recent projects (“Vignoble du Futur”) to adapt the vineyard to climate challenges.
