Marks and reviews

/100

Vinum

Nose shaped by the élevage, dark fruit, flint, smoky notes; creamy palate, ample, ripe fruit, fine-grained tannins, clean, balanced, solid length. Slim yet harmonious.

/100

Decanter

Deep ruby-purple colour in appearance. On the nose, dense and smoky, with nuances of high-quality French oak (cinnamon, vanilla, cloves). Powerful and concentrated on the palate, a lot of structure and almost some sweetness at the core, tannins are bold and polished, with great potential.

James Lawther MW

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Aromatically appealing. Dark- and red-fruit notes. Tannins finely honed. Light mid-palate but harmonious and balanced. (JL)

Tobacco, cedar, vanilla, strawberry, and red currants open the perfume. The wine is bright, fresh, juicy, and elegant, with a focus on its core of red plums, strawberry, and black raspberries, with a juicy, crispness in the finish. The wine is made from 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 13% Merlot, 13% ABV. Drink from 2028-2040. 90-92 Pts

Le Figaro Vin

Intense and dark, complex and inviting, the bouquet moves between smoky aromas, stewed red fruits, notes of spice and white pepper. Considerably brighter, the palate opens with crisp fruit (cherry, redcurrant), carried by a tangy freshness. The texture is juicy and aromatic, offering excellent chew and a mouthwatering finish.

Vertdevin

The nose is spicy, straightforward and racy. It shows lovely finesse, a beautiful grain depth and good definition. It reveals toasted notes, pulpy black cherry and, more subtly, bright red berries, with touches of cornflower, bergamot and nutmeg, as well as fine, almost imperceptible hints of mandarin in the background. The palate is fruity, offering roundness, a sexy, enveloping feel, a zesty backbone and minerality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of cornflower and small blue fruits, and, more lightly, fresh/bright cherry, with touches of infusion and lilac, as well as a subtle, almost sappy hint in the background. Good length and definition. The tannins are well handled. A gourmet and delicate wine. A hint of chocolate on the finish.

Description

Characteristics and Tasting Recommendations of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion 2024

Tasting

Nose
The aromatic bouquet reveals fresh red fruit notes such as raspberry, redcurrant and cherry, complemented by subtle ink and graphite touches brought by the cabernet franc.

Palate
The attack is juicy and fresh, offering a beautiful balance between roundness and dynamism. The texture is velvety with delicate, silky tannins. The merlot brings an airy note, while the cabernet sauvignon structures the whole with subtle depth. The cabernet franc gives the wine energy mid-palate and density without excessive power. The whole is indulgent, balanced and delivers immediate pleasure.

An Elegant and Balanced Red Wine from Pessac-Léognan

The Estate

Acquired in 1987 by Philippe and Christine Gervoson, the Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a historic estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. This estate, whose history dates back several centuries and which underwent different names before adopting its definitive name in 1949, experienced a true revival under the direction of the Gervoson family, which still owns it. The wines, produced on deep gravel soils, stand out for their elegance and balance, true to the identity of this Bordeaux flagship.

The Vineyard

This 61-hectare vineyard in the Pessac-Léognan appellation from which this wine originates sits on gravel soils atop an argillo-sand matrix 2 to 4 meters deep, with a limestone subsoil. This geological composition, typical of the appellation, gives the wines their distinctive character. The vines, averaging 35 years old, benefit from an exceptional terroir that promotes the optimal expression of Bordeaux grape varieties.

The Vintage

The year 2024 began with an exceptionally wet and mild winter, followed by a cool, wet spring with high cryptogamic pressure from April 20. Flowering extended over three weeks, slowed by the weather conditions. The summer was marked by a water deficit in July and August, with moderate temperatures and no major heatwave. Veraison began in early August at a normal pace. Harvesting started on September 19 under cool, humid conditions.

Vinification and Aging

Rigorous plot-by-plot harvesting, followed by destemming without crushing. The grapes are sorted on a sorting table and by an optical system. Vinification is carried out by plot in small, thermoregulated concrete vats, filled by gravity. Regular punch-downs and a long four-week maceration allow for optimal fruit extraction. Aging is carried out in new and one-year-old barrels for the cabernets, while 5% of the merlot is aged in terracotta amphorae.

Blend

62% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 13% cabernet franc.
