Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc 2021

A lovely pale yellow color, with green glints. The nose is concentrated with fruity scents of citrus, mango and pineapple. Swirling reveals concentration and depth of aromas. On the first taste, the wine is rich, fresh, wide and taut all at once. It develops and is full, with lots of flavor and no heaviness. At times Sauvignon in exuberance, sometimes Sémillon in fleshiness and careful structure. This Haut-Brion is ultimately a superb harmony of aromas and taste, between Sauvignon and Sémillon, which have given us their very best thanks to the conditions of this vintage.

This is racy and aromatic, with blossom honey, lemons, limes and crushed stone. Some Thai basil, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fresh acidity and plenty of energy. Solid and polished in the Haut-Brion way. - 98pts James Suckling

White-berry aromas with a white-flower floral character. The wine is intense with white-orchard fruits and lemon acidity and a core of wood aging. Still young, the wine will drink from 2027. - 98pts Wine Enthusiast Cellar Selection
