Note di degustazione
Diam closure. 80% Sémillon. Mixture of creaminess and something green – gooseberry fool?! Light, sweet start and something just a little hesitant. Definite sweetness with a bit of grip on the end. (JR)

The 2018 La Clarté de Haut-Brion has opened up on the nose since I tasted it from barrel, though that said, it still needs coaxing. It opens to reveal green apple, white peach and melon scents (but none of the brioche elements that I picked up previously). The palate is balanced and fresh, and quite saline in the mouth, with modest weight, although it does not deliver the excitement or the complexity of a top-flight dry white Bordeaux. Drink over the next decade or so.
Lots of honeyed citrus, salty mineral, white flowers, and a kiss of white grapefruit all emerge from the 2018 La Clarte De Haut-Brion Blanc, a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced white that has an approachable, layered style. It should keep for a decade, probably longer, although there's no need to delay gratification too much.
