2022 Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc

Dried lemon and lime with honeysuckle and stone aromas, that follow through to a full body with fantastic length and energy at the end. Phenolics give it great length and stature. 51.4% semillon and 48.6% sauvignon blanc. ~ (99) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 4-19-2023

Delivering aromas of peach, sweet orchard fruit, spring flowers and lemon oil, the 2022 Haut-Brion Blanc is a full-bodied wine with a seamless, enveloping profile. Its glossy, textural mid-palate that segues into a sappy, racy finish of crystalline purity. A blend of 51.4% Sémillon and 48.6% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is fatter and fleshier than the more tensile La Mission Haut-Brion and will in all likelihood offer a broader drinking window. ~ (95) Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-28-2023

The 2022 Château Haut-Brion Blanc is close to an even split of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, but it seems to lead with its Sauvignon at this point and has bright citrus, lime pith, honeyed flower, and obvious chalky minerality on both the nose and palate. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with notable concentration as well as acidity, it's another brilliant wine from this team. ~ (97) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-10-2023

Citrus notes with a slight grassy edge. Generous fruit on the palate with plenty of gras. Again, misses a bit of zip and energy but the texture is very fine. Will hopefully develop more complexity. ~ (16.5) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 5-4-2023
