chateau larrivet haut brion blanc 2016
Reference: 10796Stock: 8 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"located 15 kilometres from bordeaux, in the southern part of the appellation, the larrivet-haut-brion vineyards adjoin those of haut-bailly. the name of the estate has undergone many changes over the two centuries of its history. initially called château de canolle, then la rivette, it took the name château haut-brion larrivet in 1874. the estate successively belonged to a bordeaux wine merchant and then to bordeaux wine lovers, the sons of mr. théodore conseil, who developed it. the vineyard then reached 50 hectares. in the 1930s, the estate was hit hard by the economic crisis and production was wiped out. in 1949, it took on its current name: château larrivet haut-brion, but it was under the impetus of christine and philippe gervoson that the estate was reconstituted, through the acquisition of original plots. major investments were made, and the wines gradually regained their former quality. from 1996 onwards, the fine vintages followed one another and the terroir was once again fully expressed: the larrivet haut-brion vineyard is indeed based on a clay soil composed of sand and iron alios. since 2007, the estate has been managed by bruno lemoine, general manager and winemaker. the dry white wines are characterised by a very complex harmony of white fruit aromas. the richness they display on tasting is intense, and the length on the palate superb. if the sauvignon (80% of the blend) is present, accompanied by its aromatic freshness (white peach and exotic fruits) and its fine floral nuances, the wood also has its say with its vanilla notes. the freshness of the nose is found in an ample and very balanced mouth."
