This is solid with dried pineapple, grapefruit and apple character. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and depth. Phenolics are all there. Serious. 86% sauvignon and the rest semillon. - James Suckling

The 2022 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is going to be outstanding, if not more. Offering a vivid gold hue as well as ample citrus, orange blossom, mint, and some honeyed, mineral notes, it's medium-bodied, has good acidity, and terrific overall balance. Despite coming from a hot, stressful year, this is lively, pure, and beautifully done. Tasted twice.-Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is a wild, exotic wine. Passionfruit, pineapple, white flowers and tangerine oil lend a distinctly tropical profile. The Blanc is exuberant and effusive, a bit out of control, but in a good way. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2022 Larmande prances out with fragrant notions of rose hip tea, juicy black plums, and kirsch, giving way to wafts of cinnamon toast and Sichuan pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and juicy with perfumed red and black fruit preserves and a long, fragrant finish. Nicely done! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

Aromas of spices, lemon oil, lime tree, verbena, exotic, menthol and iodine introduce the 2022 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, seamless and sapid wine with a succulent core of fruit and a penetrating, fresh and saline finish. This blend of 86% Sauvignon Blanc and 14% Sémillon, maturing in 70% new oak and 30% wood tank or foudres, is a strong effort. - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate
