Tasting Notes

100
The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Dec 22
A blend of 56.2% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.8% Semillon, the 2017 Haut-Brion Blanc prances out with showy scents of pink grapefruit, fresh pineapple, and passionfruit with suggestions of crushed stones, coriander seed, and candlewax plus a waft of marzipan. The medium-bodied palate is expressive with impressive restraint, delivering gregarious fruit at this early stage, but holding back so many fine mineral and savory layers, finishing with epic tension and persistence. This is heart-thumping stuff.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2050

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 11 Jun 25
A slightly cooler and more structured expression of the vintage that with sibling estate La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, this heads to white tea, apple blossom, citrus with steel and gentle gunsmoke. Stretches out through the palate, exceptionally balanced, it is clear that this will age for decades, and deepen in expression along the way. Harvest 22 to 30 August, 39% new oak for ageing.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2038

Vinous Neal Martin - 26 Jan 23
The 2017 Haut-Brion Blanc is just beginning to show what it can do. This is beautifully defined on the nose with Granny Smiths, orange blossom and Anjou pear, stretching its arms as it welcomes aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a silver bead of acidity, light malic notes, cucumber and melon. This is very harmonious and poised, just a wonderful, tensile white Haut-Brion for long-term aging. Tasted blind at the château.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2055
