Formerly known as Les Plantiers Haut Brion, this is the second white wine of both Haut Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut Brion Blanc with around 1,000 cases produced annually.
The 2025 is 76.5% Semillon, 23.5% Sauvignon Blanc. 13.75% alcohol with ageing in 59% new oak.
The 2025 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a bright and lively bouquet with scents of white flower, apricot and freshly sliced pear, with just a hint of white chocolate underneath. The palate is well balanced, with a pleasing fatness and weight, counterbalancing acidity keeping it on its toes. Just a dab of stem ginger towards the finish, this is a decent La Clarté de Haut-Brion. Drinking Window

Bright lemon colour. A nose full of waxy apples and orchard fruit with a touch of confit lemon and toasty wood. Succulent and juicy on the palate, with a salty, tangy finish, this peachy, vibrant wine will drink well from the get go.
The 2025 La Clarté de Haut-Brion, a blend of 76.5% Sémillon and 23.5% Sauvignon Blanc (50% Haut-Brion and 50% La Mission Haut-Brion), reveals a refined, spicy and fresh bouquet with notes of ripe white fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, round and enveloping, it’s built around a core of fruit with notable dry extract, combining freshness with a sense of movement on the palate. It's a particularly successful rendition of this cuvée.
Very lemony, with botanicals and spices on the nose and palate. It's medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a long and flavorful finish. Energetic. 76.5% semillon and 23.5% sauvignon blanc.
The 2025 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is a wine built on serious texture. Lemon confit and mint emerge on the very dense palate, accented by hints of chamomile, acacia and dried flowers. This has real textural presence and the character to match. As a reminder, La Clarté is the second wine of both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. 90-92.
