Description

The color is dark ruby with purple reflections. The nose opens up with a bright fruit. It continues with smoky, spicy ( cumin seed, anise) and cigar box notes, characteristic of the great Cabernets from the Léogan region. The impression remains fresh. The tannins are powerful yet very nice grained. The palate is dense and long, the finish becomes salivating. This racy wine offers us a mouth-watering persistence and freshness.. Called at various times Château de Canolle, La Rivette, and Château Brion-Larrivet, the estate was renamed Château Haut-Brion Larrivet by the owner Ernest Laurent (a Bordeaux négociant) in 1874. In 1893, the estate was acquired by the Bordeaux ship owners, Les Fils de Théodor Conseil. The property was given its current name, château Larrivet Haut-Brion, in 1949 by Jacques Guillemaud (owner since 1941). Devoted and hard-working, he conscientiously managed the estate until 1982. Château Larrivet Haut-Brion was acquired by the Gervoson family in 1987. They restored the estate's unity, once again combining the château, outbuildings, 13 hectares of grounds, and 42 hectares of vines under one owner, as well as replanting 18 hectares of land that had laid fallow.
