Enjoy with fillet on the bone and veal dishes. Braised turbot /pork mignon and apple fruit purée.

The vines are 30 years old on average.

1/3 aged in small wooden vats, 1/3 in oak barrels and 1/3 in stainless steel vats for 14 months.

The winery is equipped with stainless steel vat with temperature controlled which permit vinification plot by plot. Traditional vinification takes place at high temperature (28-32°C) with 3-4 pumping over per day and a long maceration (25-30 days).

Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion was acquired by the Gervoson family in 1987. They restored the estate's unity once again combining the Chateau outbuildings 13 hectares of grounds and 42 hectares of vines under one owner as well as replanting 18 hectares of land that had laid fallow. A team of enthusiastic professionals has done a wonderful job of giving Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion back its superb reputation and the estate is once again universally recognised as one of the finest wines in the Pessac-Léognan appellation.
