Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

Aromas of smoke, white fruits and ripe orchard fruits preface the 2023 La Clarté de Haut-Brion blanc, a medium-bodied, round and supple wine that is fruity and elegant on the finish. This is a blend of 56.3% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.7% Sémillon.

James Suckling (94)

A tight and focused second wine of La Mission and Haut Brion with a classy texture and beautiful length and focus. Medium body, fresh acidity and a crunchy finish. 56.3% sauvignon blanc and 43.7% semillon.

Vinous (91)

The 2023 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is the second white wine from La Mission and Haut-Brion. It offers terrific cut and focus. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, crushed rocks, white pepper and a touch of reduction lend notable energy to this airy, sculpted dry white. Time in the glass reveals its lovely mid-palate texture, rounding things out. The 2023 is a fine Clarté.

The second wine for both La Mission Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion, the 2023 La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc is a blend of 56.3% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.7% Semillon. It has a crisp, vibrant nose of crushed citrus, honeyed lemon, pineapple, and a kiss of minerality as well as a medium-bodied, fresh, focused, elegant profile on the palate.
