The magic of Haut-Brion's terroir

While famed for its legendary reds, Haut-Brion's magnificent terroir has also 
produced exceptional white wine since at least the early 18th century. 
Initially producing sweet wines, it was not until the late 1800s that the fine 
dry white wines came into their own. Every year, the uncompromising, meticulous 
work in the vineyards through the seasons, a bespoke vinification and ageing 
ensures the exceptional quality of these singular and acclaimed white wines.

The heir of two icons

A clear, golden colour, this white wine is made from a blend with a majority of 
Semillon (75%) bringing body and sweetness and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, bringing 
freshness and structure. The first nose is powerful and fruity, with lovely 
aromas of peach and quince and an unrivalled complexity. The first taste is 
smooth and full of flavour. The wine develops with rich body on the palate, 
almost sweet, giving a feel of Southern France. The finish, with some lovely 
bitter notes, is very refreshing. These are just a few of the reasons why wine 
enthusiasts around the world are keen to discover this incredibly fine and rare 
dry white wine: only approximately 1000 cases are produced every year.

La Clarte de Haut-Brion' grapes are grown on the Haut-Brion terroir, it is born 
of two prestigious estates: Chateau Haut-Brion and Château La Mission 
Haut-Brion. This new bottle reminds of the wine's extraordinary kinship: the 
bottle has adopted the shape of those of Chateau Haut-Brion, meanwhile, the 
label and capsule have taken in the codes of the eminent Chateau La Mission 
Haut-Brion. 

This second wine makes an excellent introduction before discovering its 
elders.  To reveal its qualities, there are many occasions for tasting it.  La 
Clarte de Haut-Brion can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with seafood or sushi it 
will be a marvellous accompaniment, as its structure and flavours blend 
perfectly with noble fish.
