Pretty sanguine and tea notes lead off here, with silky textured damson plum and blackberry fruit following quickly behind. Lively anise and bramble hints emerge on the finish. This has range and character.—J.M.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Larrivet Haut-Brion leaps with kirsch, warm blueberries and black plums plus wafts of earth, herbs and cedar and a touch of tar. Medium-bodied, the palate is fine, fresh and delicately expressive, finishing long and savory<br/>
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.
