Larrivet Haut-Brion's 2018 Blanc bursts with expressive pineapple, Bosc pears and melon scents with hints of pink grapefruit, lime zest and coriander seed. The medium to full-bodied palate is wonderfully exotic, packed with tropical fruit and citrus layers, supported by a racy backbone and finishing with a spicy kick.

A dense and very deep white with sliced-apple and dried-mango character. Full and layered. Lovely brightness, too. White truffle. Crazy.
