The 2019 Haut-Brion Blanc is a regal white of uncommon complexity and nuance. Textured and resonant in feel, the 2019 saturates the palate with a host of citrus and mineral-drenched flavors. White pepper, chalk, mint and lifted floral overtones all develop in the glass, but it is the wine's textural resonance that stands out most. A thrilling white, the 2019 simply has it all. In a word: magnificent. June 2020

This Haut-Brion 2019 Blanc is a blend of 64.4% Sauvignon Blanc and 35.6% Semillon, harvested from the 29th of August to the 9th of September. The estimated label alcohol degree is 14%. The nose is quite subdued to begin, soon unfurling to offer fragrant scents of orange blossoms, white peaches and lime cordial with hints of oyster shell, fresh ginger, pomelo and kumquat plus a suggestion of jasmine. The medium to full-bodied palate has a seducing hint of oiliness texturing the intense citrus and chalky layers, lifted by bold freshness and finishing with incredible length and perfume. Just stunning. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, June 2020

The 2019 Haut-Brion Blanc is cut from a different cloth to the La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc. Taciturn initially, it then delivers intense green apple, gooseberry, honeysuckle and grass clipping aromas that are extremely well delineated. The palate is magnificently balanced with just the right amount of salinity. It has slightly more energy than its aforementioned sibling. The finish is tensile and light spiced with a very persistent aftertaste. This is one of the best Haut-Brion Blanc that I have encountered out of barrel. June 2020

This is crazy quality. The depth and intensity is really something. It is so compact and powerful with such intensity and density. Energy. So structured. Full-bodied. Layered and superb. Like a great Montrachet from a great vintage, but so Haut Brion. Speechless. Perfect wine. June 2020
