2021 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge

AND PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2023 - DELIVERY SPRING 2024

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion from Graves-Pessac-Léognan is owned by the Gervoson family and today it is director Bruno Lemoine who takes the cru to the highest place in the appellation.

This wine is made from a combination of predominantly 81% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, supplemented with 18% Cabernet Franc grapes. The vines have an average age of approximately 30 years and therefore give the wine a pleasant amount of concentrate and strength. The harvest is done manually when the grapes have reached their perfect ripeness. The wine then matures partly for 40% in new French oak barriques, partly in barriques that have been used once before and partly in barriques that have been used twice before. In the nose, this wine offers pronounced, soft notes of (over) ripe black fruit, a touch of leather and a smoky undertone with some light notes of licorice.

Opaque purple-black colored, the 2021 Larrivet Haut-Brion bursts from the glass with deliciously fragrant scents of black raspberries, Morello cherries and wild blueberries with suggestions of black currant pastilles, candied violets, chocolate mint and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with layers of red and black fruit, framed by firm, exquisitely ripe, velvety tannins and bold freshness, with a long and fragrant finish.
