Larrivet Haut-Brion 2022 – Pessac-Léognan

Produced in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, Château Larrivet Haut-Brion 2022 expresses with elegance the typical character of the great wines from Bordeaux’s Left Bank. The estate benefits from a terroir mainly composed of deep gravel soils over clay subsoils, offering the vines an ideal balance between drainage and water retention.

The 2022 vintage, marked by warm and dry conditions, allowed for excellent grape ripeness while preserving the freshness essential to the wine’s balance. The blend typically combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a structured and harmonious wine.

Ageing in oak barrels brings a discreet woody touch that supports the expression of the fruit without overpowering it.

On the nose, the wine reveals aromas of ripe black fruits, blackcurrant, and black cherry, along with notes of spice, cocoa, and a subtle smoky character typical of the appellation. On the palate, the attack is broad and precise, with present but well-integrated tannins. The wine shows good depth, an elegant texture, and a persistent finish.

This Pessac-Léognan combines power and finesse, with interesting ageing potential while already being approachable after suitable aeration.

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a wine estate located in Bordeaux, in the heart of the Pessac-Léognan appellation.

The estate has undergone a significant revival since the late 20th century, with vineyard restructuring and a continuous improvement in quality. It now covers approximately 50 hectares of vines, planted on gravel and gravelly sandy soils over clay subsoils.

The vineyard is mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, allowing the production of wines that balance structure, fruit, and elegance.

The estate is distinguished by careful vineyard management and parcel-based winemaking, aimed at preserving fruit purity and the identity of each terroir. Ageing in French oak barrels adds complexity and finesse without overpowering the wine.

Today, Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is recognized as a solid and consistent estate in Pessac-Léognan, producing expressive, approachable wines with good ageing potential.
