Château Haut Brion Blanc, Pessac Léognan, 2016
In 2016 Haut Brion Blanc appears to offer much more exotic, spiced fruit and rich, mouth filling presence than the Mission Blanc, perhaps the result of their older vines. Where Mission offers line and length, HBB is all breadth and texture, long, graceful and regal. It’s a grand wine by any measure. The concentration here is spectacular while the staggering richness and layers of flavour are offset by discreet acidity, a sensational texture and a fine finishing mineralité. The blend is 71% Sauvignon Blanc, 29% Semillon, with 35% of the blend aged in new oak.
critic reviews
The 2016 Haut-Brion Blanc is a wine of real textural depth and resonance. Ample, full-bodied and rich, the Blanc speaks with a sense of regal sophistication. Absolutely nothing is out of place. There is plenty of freshness, but the Blanc is above all else a vertical white built on poise. Today, the 2016 shows quite a bit of youthful exuberance, but time in bottle should help temper some of that.
