Wine Cellar Insider: "White peach, flowers, yellow citrus, pomelo, and yellow plums are all over the place here. Juicy and fresh, with a creamy, lemon and green apple finish, the endnote really keeps on going. The wine blends 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2023-2034."

Decanter: "Expressive nose full of green apple, elderflower, honeysuckle, acacia, citrus zest and grapefruit. Lively and upfront, a rush of almost sweet but fresh lemon, peach and apple fruits, crunchy but with a lovely texture that gives a sense of weight on the palate. Full of life with direction and precision, a mouthwatering sensation as well as a full one. Great stuff here, so much character as well as purity of fruit and overall harmony. One worth seeking out."

Falstaff: "Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Feine Nuancen von rosa Grapefruit, weiße Tropenfrucht, frische Guaven und Stachelbeeren, feine Blütenaromen und Limettenzesten. Saftig, straff, elegant, weißer Apfel, finessenreicher Säurebogen, salziger Nachhall, toller Speisenbegleiter."

Suckling: "Fresh, yet creamy, with a medium body. Notes of salted lemons and herbs with smoked almonds. Supple, ripe and well balanced. 56% semillon and 44% sauvignon."

Wine Advocate: "A blend of 55% Sémillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 La Clarté de Haut-Brion exhibits aromas of crisp nectarine, citrus oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, lively and textural, it's beautifully balanced, concluding with a long, saline finish. It's worth serious consideration this year."

Galloni: "The 2021 La Clarté de Haut-Brion will give readers a very good idea of how compelling the vintage is for white wines. The second wine of both La Mission and Haut Brion Blanc, La Clarté offers a beguiling bouquet redolent of lemon confit, orchard fruit, mint and white flowers. Bright and steely, but with an extra kick of mid-palate creaminess, La Clarté is bsolutely gorgeous today."

Weinwisser: "55 % Sauvignon Blanc, 45% Sémillon. Intensives Stachelbeerbouquet, Zitronengras und erkalteter Grüntee. Am schlanken Gaumen mit nerviger Rasse, edler Mineralik und fein pfeffrigem Extrakt. Im verspielten Finale Schlüsselblume und Agrumen. Sticht in seiner Klasse heraus."

Dunnuck: "The second wine of Haut-Brion, the 2021 La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc is well worth seeking out, offering melon ball, crushed citrus, and honeyed mineral-nuances in a medium-bodied, clean, straight, balanced package. It shows the vintage's fresh, pure, chiseled style."

Neal Martin: "The 2021 La Clarté de Haut-Brion Blanc has a fresh lime, pineapple and orange zest bouquet, well defined with moderate acidity. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, taut and fresh, and quite harmonious toward the finish. Seductive white peachy notes linger on the aftertaste. Very fine."

Perroti-Brown: "A blend of 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 La Clarte de Haut-Brion has a compelling nose of yellow apples, white peaches, and struck flint with a hint of lemon drops. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers great tension and purity, finishing on a lingering zesty note."
