Hauts De Larrivet Haut Brion

This wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, roasted poultry, and hearty stews. Its balanced structure and rich flavors also make it a suitable companion for aged cheeses and mushroom-based dishes.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. The soils are predominantly gravelly with a sandy-clay matrix, underlain by limestone subsoil. This terroir contributes to the wine's minerality and complexity.

The wine undergoes aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, for a period that allows the development of its aromatic complexity and the integration of tannins. This process imparts subtle oak nuances and contributes to the wine's overall balance.

Vinification involves traditional methods aimed at preserving the fruit's integrity and the expression of the terroir. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's structure and complexity.

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.
