Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion owns a 54-hectare vineyard that runs down the side of a nice clay and gravel hill and that has been undergoing full restructuring since the arrival of Christine and Philippe Gervoson in 1987.
Smith Haut-Lafitte’s neighbour
It has not stopped progressing under the supervision of these two passionate winemakers and, in the years to come, the success expected from this neighbour of the Smith Haut-Lafitte and Haut Bailly châteaux will bring it its letters patent of nobility. The 2005 vintage, which received a mark of 90-92/100 from Parker, is the ideal year in which to enjoy its incredible qualities.
The quality of a Cru Classé
Michel Rolland’s advice has resulted in a structured, powerful and straightforward wine, which is no less charming thanks to intense aromas of black berries, woody notes, coffee, cocoa and roasted spices. You will be surprised by its harmony and precociousness, as this wine can be fully enjoyed right now.
The quality of a Cru Classé and the price of an unranked wine: the true definition of a good deal.
