The Dazzling Clarity of Haut-Brion’s Second White Wine

Clarté Haut-Brion is the stunning white second wine of two First Growth estates: Château Haut-Brion and Château La Mission Haut-Brion.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

The nose is immediately captivating, showcasing concentration with delicate scents of white flowers, candied lemon, grapefruit, and a whisper of acacia honey, beautifully integrated with subtle oak notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, yet perfectly balanced by a dazzling freshness and a taut, mineral core. The wine is fleshy and complex, leading to a remarkably long, chalky, and saline finish.
