Score 90/100 · Drink 2006-2016, Robert Parker, Apr 2006
Les Plantiers, Haut-Brion’s second white wine, is somewhat of an insider’s secret. While typically well-made, it rarely possesses the size of the Laville Haut-Brion or Haut-Brion Blanc. The lovely, full-bodied 2003 Les Plantiers reveals ripe melony notes intermixed with citrus oil and honeysuckle as well as good underlying acidity. It is unusually large-scaled for a second wine. It will drink well for a decade.
