This vintage mixes almost equal both Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ambition of the Larrieu family, former owners of the Château, was to obtain the aromatic fullness of a liquoreux in a dry wine. Their dream has been fulfilled. The vines in the vineyard are 52.6% Sémillon and 47.4% Sauvignon Blanc. Then the fermentation is done in oak barrels for a period of 9 to 12 months of which 50% of the barrels are new. Average production of Château Haut-Brion white is 450 to 650 cases per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProducer Tasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful shining, light yellow colour. Tremendous delicacy is revealed from the first nose, upheld by scents of white blossom, acacia, elderflower, as well as a hint of sweet spices. On tasting, the structure is precise and tight, complex, with fruity acidulousness. The wine unfolds, full of body, on flavours of citrus, gingerbread and a certain compactness called to mind at every instant. A full-bodied wine, possessing great potential, this Haut-Brion white reveals all its delicate depth to mindful, patient palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was a superlative year marked by extreme weather conditions, but despite this, the harvests were gathered serenely. Picking began early, but the pace was slowed by the drought and here patience was essential. Rare, tiny grapes, but with extraordinary potential. Although the year was interspersed with contrasts, one thing is very clear: 2025 is developing to become one of Haut-Brion's greatest vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic tasting notes: (2025 vintage) \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Light greenish yellow, silver reflections.
