Chateau Larrivet Haut-Brion
A Fifth Growth, 100-hectare estate established in the 1800’s and rated as one of the top wines in the commune of Léognan from as early as 1840. From 1874, the new owner began calling it Château Haut-Brion Larrivet, causing extreme Gallic consternation down Château Haut-Brion way.
The Gervoson family have been calling the shots since 1987, working hard to restore the estate to its glory days, partially through a thoroughly modernised winery and upgraded vineyard programme.
The estate sits astride a sandy gravel ridge that is planted with 52% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. They also produce a very good white wine from a mix of 81% Sauvignon Blanc and 19% Sémillion.
