Tasting Notes

Spicy and full of tangy citrus fruit, there is lively, bright acidity to this iteration of Clarté. The palate has a strong grapefruit and apple skin character. The wine is narrow and focused, but has the classic slick texture of the estate.

89/91
Thomas Parker MW, Farr Vintners, April 2023

Aromas of oyster shell and crushed stone with lemon curd and dried lemon. Full and layered with a chewy, phenolic texture and a long and flavorful finish. Wonderful. 53.7% sauvignon blanc and 46.3% semillon.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, April 2023

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.
