Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

Notes of confit citrus, herbs and boxwood preface the 2022 La Clarté de Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, juicy and energetic white wine with good depth at the core, elegant acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish.

James Suckling (93)

Lots of matchstick with pear-drop and lemon-tart aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied and bright, with a velvety texture. Long and flavorful. Second wine of La Mission and Haut Brion. Drinkable now, but better in a couple of years.

Jancis Robinson (16)

53.7% Sauvignon Blanc, 46.3% Sémillon. Cask sample.
Slightly grassy edge but juicy and pleasing. Good mid-palate fruit and a point of freshness. More for early drinking. (JL)

Vinous (92)

The 2022 La Clarté de Haut Brion is a very pretty, floral dry white. Tangerine peel, sage, mint, dried flowers and lemon peel are all beautifully delineated. Sauvignon Blanc drives the blend, and that comes through in the wine's strong varietal orchard fruit and tomato leaf notes Vibrant and steely, the 2022 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years.

The second wine of both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, the 2022 La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc checks in as a blend of 53.7% Sauvignon and 46.3% Sémillon brought up in barrel. Grilled citrus, white flowers, and a beautiful sense of stony minerality all emerge from this beauty, and it's medium-bodied, has a fresh, focused, yet concentrated mouthfeel, as well as bright acidity. It's rich and textured, yet remarkably fresh and focused. This hit 14% with a pH of 3.29. It’s great today and will be great in 8-10 years as well.

Decanter (91)

Strong aromatics; crisp green apple, grass, elderflower and ripe gooseberries. Rich and intense on the palate, an appealing weight and texture, round and filling, almost waxy and oily but kept in check by salty, creamy lemon, vanilla, peach and apricot fruit. Nicely balanced, not too sharp or acidic, more calm and controlled but still giving texture and nuance. You still get shots of citrus which lift the palate and I really like the cool creamy texture. Airy and appealing. For the vintage it’s very good and super easy to drink! 3.3pH.
