95-97 Barrel sample. Deliciously concentrated fruit, which shows considerable power and ripeness. Yellow fruits, spice from new wood and richness are already combining well. And just as a reminder that this has Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, there is a touch of fresh herbaceousness at the end.

Varietal

White Bordeaux

France is widely known as being the home of many of the world's finest white wines, and within France, the name which rings out across the wine world and is always associated with excellence of quality and flavor is Bordeaux. The white wines of the magnificent Bordeaux region are typically blended, and rely on the winemaker's skill and expertise to achieve the fine balance between the primary grape varietals used. Most blended white Bordeaux wines are made up of Sauvignon Blanc, SÃ©millon and Muscadelle varietals, although there are actually nine grapes officially allowed by French wine law for the inclusion in Bordeaux white wines. The other six are Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac, although the use of these other grapes has been in steady decline over the past century.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes.

The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character.

The 2008 Haut Brion Blanc is straight-up thrilling and ranks with the top handful of whites in the vintage. Based on 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon, it has awesome minerality as well as vivid notes of yellow fruits, citrus, flowers, and wet stone. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated, and perfectly balanced, it’s singing today, and I don’t expect that to change any time soon.

What extraordinary class to this young white, with subtle yet intense aromas and flavors of minerals, slice pears and apples, walnuts and cream. Full and ultra-refined, with the texture of a great fine red and a fresh, fruity, delicate finish. It lasts for minutes on the palate.

This stunningly rich blend of 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc exhibits great fruit intermixed with notes of lanolin, damp earth, graphite, honeyed citrus and orange butter. Drink this beauty over the next 2 decades.

This is dense and still quite tight, with lemon verbena, chamomile, quinine, green plum and mineral notes supported by superracy yet well-embedded acidity. The finish has rapier cut, with the quinine note reverberating. Best from 2013 through 2018. 500 cases made.

91-94 Medium-deep straw-gold, deeper than its stablemate Laville Haut-Brion. Rich nose offers fresh lemon, apple and pear aromas complicated by beeswax. Then less rich and broad on the palate than the nose had me expecting, but beautifully pure in its precise apple, pear and citrus flavors. Finishes very long and creamy, with a distinct lemony twist and a mineral element.
