Persoonlijke gegevens
This beautiful white Haut Brion de La Clarté has a beautiful, pale yellow color. The nose of this Clarté is relatively aromatic and reveals a beautifully clear, pronounced expression of Sauvignon, which is dominant in the blend. The first taste is full, tasty and lively at the same time: Sémillon, unobtrusive on the nose, is expressed on the palate and gives a fruity, elegant sensation of softness. A wonderful impression of balance, despite the average length on the palate. This is a very stylish La Clarté that should provide drinking pleasure for a decade. The Clarté is the wine served during the Oscar ceremony.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze 2019 La Clarté de Haut-Brion toont een bleekgele kleur en een aromatisch Sauvignon-boeket met frisse citrus, groene kruiden en een levendige zuurgraad, terwijl Sémillon in de mond voor zachte, fruitige ronding en elegante balans zorgt. Juist die combinatie van frisheid en subtiele volheid maakt de wijn ideaal bij witte vis en schelp- en schaaldieren omdat hij de zilte tonen accentueert zonder te overheersen, en door zijn verfijnde karakter ook perfect is voor een terrasavond of romantisch diner. Probeer hem bij licht gegrilde of op de huid aangebakken vis, klassieke beurre blanc, gestoomde schelpdieren of een ceviche met citroen en verse kruiden; deze bereidingswijzen laten zowel de minerale frisheid als de zachte Sémillon-textuur mooi uitkomen. |

With aromas of confit citrus fruit, peaches, grapefruit and pastry cream, the 2019 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with a satiny attack that segues into an ample core of fruit underpinned by lively acids and chalky structure. A combined second wine for both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, this has turned out nicely in bottle, delivering a wine that's richer and headier in style than its 2018 predecessor.
Jean-Philippe Delmas is delighted with his 2019s, and justly so, as this rich, dramatic and unusually powerful vintage is a great success for Château Haut-Brion (and its neighbor, La Mission Haut-Brion). In the vineyards, a touch more Cabernet Sauvignon is being planted these days, but the evolution is subtle, as the 2019 blend remains very much in line with tradition at this address, at 49% Merlot and 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Cabernet Franc. That predominance of Merlot, combined with Haut-Brion's warm mesoclimate, have delivered an above-average alcohol level, labelled at 15%. On the white side of the ledger, we can expect a touch more Sauvignon Blanc in the future, as Delmas notes that Sémillon tends to lose its acidity rapidly in warm vintages. In both colors, the vineyard team are working to mitigate the effects of climate change and minimize the quantities of copper employed in treatments throughout the year. In the cuvier and chai, winemaking remains very classical, with fermentation in Haut-Brion's proprietary two-tier stainless steel tanks, designed to maximize the quantity of high-quality free-run juice; malolactic fermentation in tank; and maturation in new oak barrels, some 80% of which are produced in house by Séguin Moreau (complemented by purchased barrels from Demptos and Taransaud). White grapes are whole-cluster pressed with great attention to pH, the musts protected with dry ice, and bottled with some 25 parts per million free sulfites, without much in the way of dissolved carbon dioxide.

From: 2019 Bordeaux from Bottle: The Two Towers (Feb 2022)
The 2019 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is every bit as compelling as it was last year. Today, as back then, what stands out most is the interplay of rich fruit and energy. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper all grace this super-expressive, racy white. La Clarté is obviously not as complex as its two siblings, the Blancs from Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, but it is absolutely exquisite.

Château Haut-Brion is located in the French municipality of Pessac, a few kilometers southwest of the city of Bordeaux. Haut-Brion is the oldest and historically the most colorful Gironde winery - it was here that the first Bordeaux was made from a single vineyard in the 17th century, first donated in London coffee houses and praised by many leading writers. In 1935, the winery was bought by Clarence Dillon, an American banker. He invested large sums in the renovation of the chai and the vineyard. In 1960, Haut-Brion became the first premier cru, replacing the wooden barrels with stainless steel tanks. In 1983, the Dillon family bought the adjacent Château la Mission Haut-Brion.
The vineyard covers an area of 51 hectares of which just over 48 hectares are planted with red grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) and just under 3 hectares are dedicated to white grape varieties (Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc).
