DECANTER: "Green herbal notes, some honeyed elements, lemongrass, hay, elderflower and green apple. Juicy and clean, nice lifted style on the palate. A good weight on the tongue, this has some fat, a touch of honey with crystalline aspects some peachy flesh and lime and grapefruit rind. Not super long or super persistent but nicely formed. Mouth watering acidity, subtle, balanced, nothing too much, all in one line. Really easy to like and enjoy for sure. I love the softness and the soft edge of bitterness. 3.2pH, 4 total acidity. This usually has a majority of Semillon but this year has 56.4% Sauvignon Blanc."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Feine gelbe Tropenfrucht, etwas Ananas, zart nach reifer Maracuja, ein Hauch von Karamell. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, frisch strukturiert, reife gelbe Birnenfrucht im Abgang, balanciert und vielseitig einsetzbar."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "A blend of 56.3% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.7% Semillon, La Clarte de Haut Brion 2023 has a pH of 3.2. It zips out of the glass with electric scents of fresh limes, yuzu, and green mango, leading to hints of chalk dust and white pepper. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a crisp line to cut through the intense citrus layers, finishing long and chalky."

It has a crisp, vibrant nose of crushed citrus, honeyed lemon, pineapple, and a kiss of minerality as well as a medium-bodied, fresh, focused, elegant profile on the palate."
