2025 La Clarte de Haut Brion Blanc
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2025 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has a bright and lively bouquet with scents of white flower, apricot and freshly sliced pear, with just a hint of white chocolate underneath. The palate is well balanced, with a pleasing fatness and weight, counterbalancing acidity keeping it on its toes. Just a dab of stem ginger towards the finish, this is a decent La Clarté de Haut-Brion.

Honeyed citrus, pear, and orange all emerge from the 2025 Le Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc, a beautiful second wine from this reference point estate in Pessac that has a fresh, focused, and elegant style. On the palate, it's balanced and has a certain salty minerality, as well as outstanding length. It will shine right out of the gate.
Flowers, a mélange citrus, white peaches and spice form the perfume. On the palate, the wine is fresh, elegant, and fruity, with a finish that delivers lift to its sweet fruits. The wine blends 76.5% Semillon, with 23.5% Sauvignon Blanc.
Very lemony, with botanicals and spices on the nose and palate. It's medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a long and flavorful finish. Energetic. 76.5% semillon and 23.5% sauvignon blanc.
