    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Made from declassified fruit from La Mission and Haut Brion. Open and generous but a little more serious and streamlined than usual. Satisfying, fresh and fruit-forward offering crystallised lemon rind fruit, developing into ruby grapefruit and a lemon sherbet tang. A blend of 56% Semillon 44% Sauvignon.

    If you are going to pick a 2nd wine in the 2021 vintage, I strongly recommend heading to the whites. Hard to go wrong here, with its grip and pummice-stone tension, savoury white pear and mouthwatering lime zest, citrus peel, excellent quality. Has a clear intensity to it, a slate-textured finish and fleshy but pared-back pear fruits. 45% new barrels, and lower alcohols than over the past few years (as with the whole Haut-Brion range). Harvest from September 3 to 13.

    The 2021 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has an attractive nose: pineapple less evident than it was from barrel, perhaps now just a tad more resinous in style. The palate is well-balanced with a keen line of acidity, not a complex white Bordeaux per se, but it reveals admirable tension on the finish.

    A blend of 55% Semillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 La Clarte de Haut-Brion has a compelling nose of yellow apples, white peaches, and struck flint with a hint of lemon drops. Light to medium-bodied, the palate delivers great tension and purity, finishing on a lingering zesty note.
