The 2024 Larrivet Haut-Brion is a pretty wild, idiosyncratic wine. A dollop of stems in the Merlot gives the 2024 strong aromatic presence. Deep and pliant, with terrific persistence, Larrivet has quite a bit of potential. The challenge in élevage will be preserving the vibrancy of the fruit while keeping the stem component from gaining so much that the aromas and flavors become vegetal, all while maintaining the wine's essential delicacy. Today, I am cautiously optimistic. Tasted two times.
Attractive floral character, violet, iris, the lean side of Cabernet Sauvignon, good nuance, leaning into the vintage, slim and savoury but still with impact. A little overly tight in its chalky tannins, but with real charm. Last vintage of Bruno Le Moine before retirement, replaced by Charlotte Mignon. Harvest 19 September to 5 October. Gervoson family owners.
