A blend of 61% Semillon and 39% Sauvignon Blanc from the owners of Chateau Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, this beautiful 2013 white wine offers up notes of delicate pineapple, caramelized citrus, honeysuckle and grapefruit. Medium-bodied, ripe and concentrated with good acidity, a fleshy mouthfeel and a long finish, it should drink well for a decade or more.
A blend of 61% Semillon and 39% Sauvignon Blanc, the La Clarte de Haut Brion has a pleasant, slightly grassy bouquet with grapefruit and lime cordial. The palate is crisp and sharp on the entry with a nice twist of sour lemon and a brisk, fresh lime cordial finish. Fine. Tasted April 2014.
This is really lively and dense with layers of dried fruits and crazy energetic acidity. Lemon, dried apples and lots of minerals. Excellent second wine of Haut-Brion and La Mission.
