Product Description
JD94 "The second wine of this incredible estate is the 2016 La Clarte de Haut Brion Blanc (76.3% Sémillon and 23.7% Sauvignon). As with the grand vin, it has an incredible mix of vibrancy and richness as well as beautiful tart citrus, lime, white flowers, and crushed rock aromas and flavors. Fresh, focused, medium-bodied, and with bracing acidity yet terrific concentration, it too needs short-term cellaring and should keep for two decades." JD Feb 2019
JA94 "Succulent and structured, rich and powerful, layered with yuzu, salted lemon rind, sage and steel. 40% new oak for ageing, this is a Clarté to look out for. In 2016 much of the Sémillon that usually would go in the 1st wines (drawn from both Haut-Brion Blanc and La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc vines) was used here. Exceptional quality, perfect moment to drink. One of the wines of the night, overperforming expectations and utterly knockout." JA for IB Apr 2025
