Description
Let's delve into the past to reveal a rich and complex history secretly preserved in the archives of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion.
From 1840 to the present day, the reputation of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion has grown steadily, first as "Château de Canolle", then as "La Rivette", then successively as "La Rivette" and "Brion-Larrivet", but it was not until 1874 that the estate acquired its almost definitive name.
In 1929, the property finally found its name: Château Larrivet Haut-Brion.

Tasting
Appearance : A lively, brilliant yellow hue.
Aroma : vanilla, apricot and pineapple aromas with mineral notes coming through at the end
Palate :
A well-structured palate that is balanced and powerful with a very good, fresh and complex
length.
A great wine for gourmet food pairings, particularly with steamed chicken breast with tarragon
cream sauce.
