JAMES SUCKLING: "A complex, thought-provoking white. Vibrant and exciting with green herbs, stones and hints of aniseed and wet sea weed. Sea salt, too. It's full-bodied and tight on the palate and rather shy. But then it takes off at the end and accelerates. Phenolic, with fine tannins. Iron. Oyster shell. 57% semillon and 43% sauvignon."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2021 Haut-Brion Blanc also shows considerable promise, offering up aromas of pink grapefruit, nectarine and crisp orchard fruits mingled with notions of freshly baked bread, pastry cream and beeswax. Full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's satiny and seamless, with a broader-shoulders, more muscular profile than La Mission's white but similarly vibrant acids. At this early stage, this would appear to be one of the two or three finest Haut-Brion whites of the last 20 years." - William Kelley

FALSTAFF: "Helles Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Feine weiße Tropenfrucht, rosa Grapefruit und Grapefruitzesten, ein Hauch von Blütenhonig, einladendes Bukett. Komplex, saftig, zarte Fruchtsüße, ein Hauch von Litschis, lebendiger Säurebogen, frisch und animierend, salziger Nachhall, gutes Reifepotenzial." - Peter Moser
