The 2017 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is rich, deep and powerful, just like it was from barrel. A white of real substance, the Blanc offers tons of Sémillon resonance before finishing with tremendous intensity.
A blend of 23.8% Sauvignon Blanc and 76.2% Sémillon, the 2017 Blanc takes its time uncoiling from its tightly wound state, slowly revealing nuances of lemon tart, lime blossoms, green mango and jasmine with touches of cedar chest and sea spray. Medium-bodied, the palate has a beautifully expressed, quiet intensity, featuring loads of subtle mineral and citrus layers, finishing long and chalky. Beautiful.
The 2017 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc was picked 22 to 31 August. It has a well defined bouquet with honeysuckle, jasmine and light orange blossom scents. The palate is very well balanced with lime, orange zest and a saline undertow. Moderate length with an attractive waxy texture and a resinous, slightly nutty aftertaste. This is another excellent white from the Clarence Dillon stable, though the Haut-Brion Blanc just has the edge.
