Majority of Semillon across the whole range this year. 42% new oak. Always one of the great value wines of Bordeaux, which might sound ridiculous but the sheer quality is incredibly consistent. Vibrant, structured, pure, touch of stone fruits, dominant apricot pit, juicy and joyful. Lovely quality. Harvest September 2 to 10, 3.22ph, 38hl/h yield. 92 points

The 2024 La Clarte de Haut Brion is terrific. It offers terrific depth, character and personality. Lemon confit, white pepper, slate, chalk and mint build nicely, but I am most struck by the wine`s textural depth and overall presence. This is an especially fine Clarte. 91-93 points

The 2024 La Clarte de Haut-Brion has a malic nose with apple blossom and kiwi fruit scents emanating from the Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity. This is a simple Deuxieme Vin Blanc that pulls up short on the finish. Early drinking. 86-88 points
