Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Larrivet Haut-Brion reveals a very pretty nose of kirsch, redcurrant jelly and Black Forest cake, followed by emerging cassis, aniseed, bouquet garni and tree bark notes. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played with soft-spoken red and black fruits and herbal accents, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and lifted.

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.
