Vinous – 89/91/100
The 2020 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc has a vigorous, quite complex bouquet of honeysuckle, jasmine, apricot and orange zest aromas, all well defined. The taut, fresh palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity and a waxy texture. A more phenolic dry white Bordeaux compared to its peers, showing fine persistence on the finish. Worth seeking out.

J. Suckling – 92-93/100

J.M. Quarin – 91/100
Couleur pâle, aux reflets verts. Nez intense, au fruité frais et mûr. Nuance d’orange sanguine, touche de marron glacé. Délicat en entrée de bouche, très soyeux au toucher, avec un goût de fruits blancs très mûrs, mais sans mollesse, le vin s’étire en finale, long, sèveux, original dans son déployé et finalement incrachable. Assemblage : 83 % sauvignon blanc, 17 % sémillon.

The Wine Advocate – 91-93+/100
The 2020 Larrivet Haut-Brion Blanc is a little closed to begin, soon unfurling to offer notes of fresh yellow apple, ripe Bosc pears and key lime pie, plus subtle hints of paraffin wax and lemongrass. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with apple and citrus layers, supported by compelling tension, finishing steely.
