Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Yohan Castaing
A blend of 53.7% Sauvignon Blanc and 46.3% Sémillon, the 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a delicate yet lively bouquet intermingling aromas of lemon, lime tree, perfectly ripe pear and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, juicy and energetic, it's a fresh, perfectly balanced wine with a delicate, fruity and slightly tannic finish.

The 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a light, finely delineated bouquet with grapefruit, kiwi fruit and a light sea spray scent. The palate is well balanced with delicate pear and melon notes. It is lightly spiced with a bright finish. Fine.

Notes of confit citrus, herbs and boxwood preface the 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, juicy and energetic white wine with good depth at the core, elegant acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish.
About the Producer
La Clatte Haut-Brion is the new name of the old Haut-Brion plantation - this is the second white wine of Haut-Brion Boulogne and Haut-Brion Blanc, which produces about 1,000 cases per year. 2018 is mainly a Semillon based wine - 79.2% - with the rest Sauvignon Blanc. La Clarté de Haut-Brion offers aromas of citrus fruit, peach, grapefruit and pastry cream, with a full-bodied, deep and fleshy wine that is satiny and can be integrated into an ample fruit core supported by lively acidity and a chalky, sturdy structure. The second wine in the portfolio of Haut-Obrion and Haut-Obrion Cathedral, this works well in the bottle, offering a richer, more exciting wine than its 2018 predecessor.
