Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is a Bordeaux wine estate in the Pessac-Léognan district. Its reputation has been on the rise since an excellent 1996 release of the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine. The estate has been called several names over the years, including Château de Canolle, La Rivette, Brion-Larrivet and Haut-Brion Larrivet, taking on its current name in 1929. It is safe to say that Larrivet Haut-Brion wines are probably the best known wines of the unclassified wineries in the appellation.

Medium-bodied, elegant, soft, silky, vibrant, and floral, the cherries and plums are sweet, balanced, and fresh, with a black raspberry and tobacco leaf note in the finish.
