JAMES SUCKLING: "Limpid, clear and bright, with fine smoke, herbs, light cream and stone fruit. Pure and dry, with very good mid-palate volume and acidity. Well balanced, with a medium body and a long, linear finish. Bright but not sharp. 64.5% semillon and 35.5% sauvignon blanc and sauvignon gris."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Feine Nuancen von Birne und Honigmelone, klar vom Semillon markiertes Bukett, ein Hauch von Limettenzesten ist unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, weiße Fruchtnuancen, feiner Säurebogen, mineralisch-zitronig im Abgang, zeigt Länge, ein balancierter Begleiter bei Tisch."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The second wine of both La Mission and Haut-Brion, the 2024 La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc is largely Semillon yet includes 35.5% Sauvignon Blanc. Crushed citrus, tart pineapple, mint, and some mineral notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with rock-solid mid-palate density, nicely integrated acidity, and a crisp, clean finish. It shows the fresh style of the vintage while still bringing solid depth and texture. It's an impressive second wine."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Skyrockets out with intense scents of lime cordial, fresh grapefruit, and lemonade, plus hints of chalk dust and chamomile blossoms. The light-bodied palate is lively and intense with chalky sparks complementing the zesty flavors, finishing with impressive length."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Yellow, and orange citrus, flowers, Granny Smith apples, white peach, and a touch of spice create the nose. The palate is fresh, and lively, with sweetness to the fruits, and a beautiful sense of purity on the palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 64.5% Semillon, with 35.5% Sauvignon Blanc. Drink from 2027-2038."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A delicate smoky reduction followed by aromas of pear, spring blossoms and flowers introduces the 2024 La Clarté de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, sappy and layered wine with a fleshy palate due to its proportion of Sémillon, with a lively, saline texture. This is a blend of 64.5% Sémillon and 35.5% Sauvignon Blanc."
