Descripción

El Larrivet Haut-Brion 2018 Blanc salta de la copa con seductoras notas tropicales de lichis, mango y maracuyá, más toques de té de rosa mosqueta y rocas trituradas con una pizca de jengibre. De cuerpo medio, rico y graso en boca, tiene una encantadora línea de frescura para elevar las frutas exóticas hasta un final largo.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

Larrivet Haut-Brion's 2018 Blanc bursts with expressive pineapple, Bosc pears and melon scents with hints of pink grapefruit, lime zest and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully exotic, packed with tropical fruit and citrus layers, supported by a racy backbone and finishing with a spicy kick.

Jeb Dunnuck:

The 2018 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc checks in as 75% Sauvignon and 25% Sémillon that was brought up in 25% new French oak. It has a classic (and terrific) nose of honeyed grapefruit, exotic flowers, and a liquid rock-like minerality. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Bordeaux Blanc with a rounded, expansive texture, nicely integrated acidity, terrific overall balance, and a great, dry, crisp finish. It's already drinking nicely, and while I wouldn't push the aging curve, I wouldn't bet against it drinking brilliant for 15 years either. This wasn't a great vintage for the whites, but this is impressive.

James Suckling:

Attractive aromas of lime blossom, acacia, lemon curd, dried pineapple and herbs. It’s medium-to full-bodied with bright acidity. Beeswax and white truffle on the finish. Dense and complex. Warm finish. Drink or hold.
