97 The Wine Independent
Composed of 64.4% Sauvignon Blanc and 35.6% Semillon, the 2019 Haut-Brion Blanc needs a bit of shaking to wake up intense notes of lime leaves, fresh green apples, and wet slate, followed by hints of salted almonds and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate has a satiny texture and restrained citrus and mineral layers, finishing long and steely. This is certainly more muted than when Iast tasted, which is the typical aging curve for this wine. Give it a good 3-5 years more in bottle, at least, then drink it over the next 20-years+.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st May 2023
96 Vinous
The 2019 Haut-Brion Blanc has a well-defined bouquet with neatly integrated oak, fine focus with more tension than many of its peers. Pedigree here. The palate is well-balanced, tensile from start to finish, with fine focus and mineralité, and palpable energy throughout. Grand Vin! Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. Neal Martin1st February 2023
96 Jane Anson
White pear, peach pit, grated ginger and bitter fennel give both impact and power on the opening beats. There is an austerity to the citrus fruit in the mid palate that is just delicious, and it shows real weight and structure - zero worries about putting this away and coming back to it in three, four, five years time or more. A serious white wine that is cleverly and skilfully crafted. 40% new oak, bottled with a Diam cork since 2017.Jane Anson13th January 2022

Pessac Leognan's Only First Growth

Grapes are thought to have been grown on the Haut-Brion estate in Pessac-Léognan since the Roman era, while the first recorded mention of the property is in 1423. The wine has had a long, illustrious history and is famously mentioned by Samuel Pepys in his diary of 1663. Nowadays, Haut Brion is considered by many to be one of the finest wines in the world and was ranked in the First Growth category during the 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines.

Renowned for its first wine (40% of production), Haut Brion, the estate also produces a spectacular second wine from young vines, Le Clarence de Haut Brion, in addition to a white, Château Haut-Brion Blanc, the Clarendelle branded wines and a second white, La Clarté de Haut Brion (which also takes grapes from La Mission). Spanning 53 hectare, the estate is planted to 50 hectares red varieties and 3 hectares white. The reds produced are beautifully balanced and complex, often around 14% abv and made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, typically aged in 80% new oak. The Haut-Brion Blanc meanwhile is a Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc blend, produced in small quantities and aged in a mix of new and one-year oak.
