Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux, France, 2015, 750ml

Really quite rich and broad. Racy and charming. Extremely vivacious. Chock full of fruit but then tense on the end.” 88-91/100 | Antonio Galloni – “The 2015 Larrivet-Haut-Brion Blanc comes across as decidedly rustic and four square. There is no shortage of intensity, but a measure of textural finesse is missing. Lemon peel and orchard fruit notes abound in a distinctly phenolic white that emphasizes power at this stage. This is the first vintage made by Stéphane Derenoncourt and his team.” – 17/20 Jancis Robinson.
