VINUM: "Was für ein Duft! Ein Parfüm, mineralisch, tiefgründig, floral, verspielt; dichter Gaumen, cremige Textur, sehr gute Säurestruktur, viel Dynamik, langes, wiederum mineralisch geprägtes Finale. Wie auch der Rotwein ein Hit."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2023 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is terrific, with ripe, exotic fruit balanced by a beautiful sense of minerality and a kiss of good reduction. Orange blossom, grilled pineapple, and floral notes all define this beauty, and it has the sun-kissed fruit of the vintage, with good acidity and flawless balance. Based on 86% Sauvignon and 14% Semillon, aging in 75% new oak, this is a brilliant white in the vintage that readers should snatch up."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Yellow citrus, pomelo, white peach, flowers, and Granny Smith apple aromatics shoot from the glass. On the palate, the wine is sweet, vibrant, ripe, round, and fruity, finishing with a blend of ripe, grapefruits, white peaches, mango, and just a hint of spice that shows on the backend of the finish. The wine is produced from 86% Sauvignon Blanc, and 14% Semillon. Drink from 2026-2033."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "The white Larrivet Haut-Brion 2023 springs from the glass with vibrant scents of fresh limes, grapefruit, and green mango, plus nuances of wild thyme and elderflower. Medium-bodied, the palate is citrusy and refreshing, with a nice, long, lifted finish. The blend is 86% Sauvignon and 14% Sémillon."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Sémillon, matured in 25% new 500-liter barrels and 75% new standard barrels, the 2023 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc evokes aromas of confit citrus, white peach, verbena and spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and round palate that’s perfectly balanced with racy acids and a long, mouthwatering finish. As usual, this is an excellent result."
