The 2017 Haut-Brion Blanc is just beginning to show what it can do. This is beautifully defined on the nose with Granny Smiths, orange blossom and Anjou pear, stretching its arms as it welcomes aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a silver bead of acidity, light malic notes, cucumber and melon. This is very harmonious and poised, just a wonderful, tensile white Haut-Brion for long-term aging. Tasted blind at the château.

The 2017 Haut-Brion Blanc Sauvignon offers a super appealing combination of textural richness and freshness. Tropical overtones, white flowers, mint, pear, sage and white pepper nuances drive the Sauvignon Blanc-leaning profile. Time in the glass brings out the wine's distinctive oily feel.
