2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Rouge

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion from Graves-Pessac-Léognan is owned by the Gervoson family and today it is director Bruno Lemoine who brings the cru to the highest place within the appellation. This wine is made from a combination of mainly 61% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, supplemented with 21% Cabernet Franc, and 18% Merlot grapes. The vines have an average age of around 30 years old and therefore give the wine a pleasant amount of concentration and power. The harvest is done manually when the grapes have reached their perfect ripeness. The wine then matures partly 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 hint of leather and a smoky undertone with some light notes of liquorice.

Opaque purple-black in color, the 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion bursts from the glass with deliciously fragrant aromas of black raspberries, Morello cherries and wild blueberries with suggestions of blackcurrant 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 a bold freshness, which is long and fragrant.
