The magic of Haut-Brion's terroir

While famed for its legendary reds, Haut-Brion's magnificent terroir has also

produced exceptional white wine since at least the early 18th century.

Initially producing sweet wines, it was not until the late 1800s that the fine

dry white wines came into their own. Every year, the uncompromising, meticulous

work in the vineyards through the seasons, a bespoke vinification and ageing

ensures the exceptional quality of these singular and acclaimed white wines.

The heir of two icons

A clear, golden colour, this white wine is made from a blend with a majority of

Semillon (75%) bringing body and sweetness and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, bringing

freshness and structure. The first nose is powerful and fruity, with lovely

aromas of peach and quince and an unrivalled complexity. The first taste is

smooth and full of flavour. The wine develops with rich body on the palate,

almost sweet, giving a feel of Southern France. The finish, with some lovely

bitter notes, is very refreshing. These are just a few of the reasons why wine

enthusiasts around the world are keen to discover this incredibly fine and rare

dry white wine: only approximately 1000 cases are produced every year.

La Clarte de Haut-Brion' grapes are grown on the Haut-Brion terroir, it is born

of two prestigious estates: Chateau Haut-Brion and Château La Mission

Haut-Brion. This new bottle reminds of the wine's extraordinary kinship: the

bottle has adopted the shape of those of Chateau Haut-Brion, meanwhile, the

label and capsule have taken in the codes of the eminent Chateau La Mission

Haut-Brion.

This second wine makes an excellent introduction before discovering its

elders.  To reveal its qualities, there are many occasions for tasting it.  La

Clarte de Haut-Brion can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with seafood or sushi it

will be a marvellous accompaniment, as its structure and flavours blend

perfectly with noble fish.
