Chateau Haut Brion - Chateau Haut Brion blanc 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "The Haut Brion is open and very pretty, with sliced lemon, pear and white-peach character, as well as a hint of lemon grass. It’s full and layered with structure and focus. Crunchy finish. Fine phenolics and vibrant fruit for the vintage. 58.1% sauvignon blanc and 41.9% semillon."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zarte Holzaromen, feiner Rösttouch, zarte gelbe Tropenfrucht, reife Stachelbeeren, etwas Ananas, weiße Blüten, mineralisch unterlegt. Hochelegant, feine Fruchtsüße, zart nach weißer Birne, eher dezentes Säurespiel, harmonisch und bereits gut antrinkbar, wirkt bereits gut entwickelt."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A bit shy, the 2023 Haut-Brion Blanc exhibits aromas of lemon, lemon oil, crisp stone fruits and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, dense and fleshy palate that's round and layered, with chalky underlying structure and a long, mineral finish. It's a blend of 58% Sauvignon Blanc and 42% Sémillon."
