This sports a racy edge, with verbena and thyme flavors out front followed by lime pith and green plum notes. Good energy through the finish.—J.M.

The Larrivet Haut Brion 2016 Blanc has a touch more vigor and zip to it compared to other dry white Bordeaux. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, touches of green apple, pear and a touch of salinité on the finish. This is certainly one of the better dry white Bordeaux wines in 2016.
Producer
Château Larrivet Haut-Brion
Château Larrivet Haut-Brion was cited as one of the leading wines in the commune of Léognan as early as 1840. The Gervoson family acquired the estate in 1987 and has worked hard ever since to restore this wine's illustrious reputation. Larrivet Haut-Brion is an immensely charming 100-hectare property. The superb 19th century château also has 13 hectares of attractive grounds. The vines are grown on high and medium-size rises of Garonne gravel. The estate also features woods and meadows. An ambitious modernization program in the cellar (pneumatic winepress using inert gas, optical sorting of grapes, etc.) and vineyard (detailed soil survey for improved plot-by-plot management) has resulted in wines reputed for their elegance and character. Representing the upcoming generation of her family, Émilie Gervoson tirelessly promotes Château Larrivet Haut-Brion around the world.
