  Grapefruit and pineapple come together in this rich wine. There is a lightly herbal character along with fresh fruits and tropical flavors. This is a ripe wine but with considerable freshness."

  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."

  Grapefruit, green apples, pears, flowers, and lemon rind create the core of the wine. On the palate, the wine offers creamy-textured citrus, and green apples with spice, crushed stones and freshness in the finish. The wine blends 54% Semillon and 46% Semillon. 13.8% ABV, 3.29 pH. Drink from 2025-2037."

  Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Reife gelbe Tropenfrucht, zart nach Ananas und Guaven, kandierte Limettenzesten sind unterlegt, ein Hauch von Litschi. Saftig, elegant, weißer Pfirsich, feiner Säurebogen, ein Hauch von Karamell, ausgewogen und einladend, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter, feine salzige Mineralität im Nachhall."

  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."

  The Wine Advocate
  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."

  Aromatics major on sage and citrus, with plenty of juicy grapefruit, white pepper and apricot pit on the palate. Delivers texture and lift, even touches of Sauvignon signature, with white flowers on the finish. Not quite the grip of the very best vintages of Clarté, but this is a lovely wine. 38% new oak for ageing. Single point upgrade from En Primeur."

  Extremely expressive aromas on the nose - elderflower, straw, green apples and mint. Touches of cedar spice accent honeyed lemon and peach fruit with a glossy texture. Not super alive or bright on the palate, the focus here is more on the slightly thick texture and really aromatic fruit profile. It has great clarity with a shot of bitter orange juiciness and elements of cool and creamy toasted caramel on the finish. Not super long. 3.29pH. 38% new oak."

  53.7 % Sauvignon Blanc, 46.3% Sémillon. Verhaltener Beginn, Agrumen, Pampelmusenzesten und weiße Blüten. Am schlanken Gaumen mit nerviger Rasse und stützender Mineralik. Im gebündelten Finale zarter Kreideton, Zitronengras und Schlüsselblume."
