2021 Demoiselles de Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is an elegant and refined white Bordeaux from Pessac-Léognan and Château Larrivet Haut-Brion. The wine combines fresh citrus and ripe white fruit with floral nuances, subtle oak, and the fine mineral character that defines the area's best white wines. A complex and gastronomic white wine with freshness, fullness, and classic Bordeaux elegance.
Les Demoiselles de Larrivet Haut-Brion is the second wine of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion, offering an opportunity to experience the estate's classic style in a more accessible and immediate form. Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is located in Pessac-Léognan, south of Bordeaux, and produces both red and white wines with a focus on terroir, precision, and elegance.
The white Demoiselles is made from the classic white Bordeaux grapes Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Sauvignon Blanc contributes citrus, freshness, aromatic intensity, and acidity, while Sémillon adds fullness, roundness, and complexity.
The 2021 vintage is particularly interesting for white Bordeaux. The cooler growing season resulted in grapes with excellent natural acidity and aromatic precision, which fits perfectly with the elegant style of Pessac-Léognan. The result is a white wine with both freshness and depth, where the fruit is complemented by subtle oak notes and a mineral finish.
Pessac-Léognan is located in the northern part of Graves, south of Bordeaux, and is considered one of the most important areas for both red and white Bordeaux. The region is known for its gravelly and stony soils, which ensure good drainage and contribute to the characteristic mineral style.
The dry white wines from Pessac-Léognan are primarily made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon and differ from many other Sauvignon Blanc wines due to their greater fullness, complexity, and aging potential. The best examples combine citrus and fresh fruit with floral aromas, minerality, and often an elegant touch from oak aging.
Nose: Fresh and elegant with citrus, grapefruit, white peaches, pear, and flowers, accompanied by fine mineral and lightly toasted nuances.
Palate: Fresh and precise with lemon, ripe stone fruit, and juicy white fruit. Sémillon adds a slightly creamy fullness, while Sauvignon Blanc provides tension, fresh acidity, and aromatic intensity.
Finish: Long, clean, and elegant with citrus, subtle oak tones, and a mineral freshness that gives the wine a wonderful gastronomic balance.
Best served at 9-11°C in a spacious white wine glass. Avoid serving the wine too cold, as a slightly higher temperature highlights its complexity and texture. It can advantageously be opened 15-30 minutes before serving.
