Château Larrivet Haut-Brion: Pessac-Léognan's Statement of Class

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion, located on the esteemed gravel soils of Pessac-Léognan, is a distinguished estate that beautifully merges Bordeaux tradition with a forward-thinking approach. Under the stewardship of the Gervoson family, this property consistently delivers red wines of superb quality, renowned for their elegance, complexity, and remarkable ability to age.

Tasting Notes

• **Appearance:** A profound, deep ruby-garnet hue.
• **Aroma:** An intensely perfumed and complex nose, offering deep black fruit (cassis, bramble), subtle notes of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and a refined minerality reminiscent of wet rock.
• **Palate:** The wine is fleshy, concentrated, and beautifully rounded upon entry. It is built on a tight weave of fine-grained, ripe tannins, delivering a persistent, fresh, and exceptionally long finish. A true expression of its gravel terroir, offering both power and grace.

Food Pairing & Decanting

Serve this exceptional claret at 16-17°C (61-63°F). Decanting for a couple of hours is highly recommended to allow the complex aromas to fully unfold. This is a wine that complements the best of British cuisine.

• **Classic Pairings:** Traditional Sunday Roast Beef with all the trimmings, venison loin, mature hard cheeses.
• **Maturity:** Excellent to drink now, but will reward careful cellaring for 10 to 20 years.
