Larrivet Haut Brion Blanc 2016

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.

The 2016 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon brought up in a mix of new and used barrels of varying sizes. It offers a serious bouquet of white graphite, caramelized lemons, crushed rocks, and just hints of brioche. With beautiful purity, a balanced, juicy, layered texture, and a great finish, this outstanding Bordeaux Blanc will keep for over a decade.
