Clear difference in personality from La Mission Blanc, tons of rich texture, but more pulled together, with the Sauvignon making its mark. Feels poised at exactly the right level of ripeness, where there is so much flavour, it drips with citrus and nectarine alongside hints of green leaf and juice. One to savour, a brilliant Haut Brion Blanc with mouthwatering salinity on the finish.

The light gold-hued 2019 Château Haut-Brion Blanc is more Sauvignon-dominated and includes close to 36 Semillon. It's a more mineral-laced, complex, layered wine, with stunning notes of crushed citrus, white grapefruit, orange blossom, and salty, crushed rock-like nuances. The purity here is just about off the charts, and it's medium to full-bodied, with flawless balance, perfectly integrated acidity, and a finish that won't quit. It's a brilliant white in every sense.

The richness of the Sauvignon Blanc in this wine is outstanding. Combined with a tight mineral texture and the purity of the fruits, the wine is on the cusp of something seriously great. It will certainly age over many years.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This Haut-Brion 2019 Blanc is a blend of 64.4 Sauvignon Blanc and 35.6 Semillon, harvested from the 29th of August to the 9th of September. The estimated label alcohol degree is 14. The nose is quite subdued to begin, soon unfurling to offer fragrant scents of orange blossoms, white peaches and lime cordial with hints of oyster shell, fresh ginger, pomelo and kumquat plus a suggestion of jasmine. The medium to full-bodied palate has a seducing hint of oiliness texturing the intense citrus and chalky layers, lifted by bold freshness and finishing with incredible length and perfume. Just stunning.

This is crazy quality. The depth and intensity is really something. It is so compact and powerful with such intensity and density. Energy. So structured. Full-bodied. Layered and superb. Like a great Montrachet from a great vintage, but so Haut Brion. Speechless. Perfect wine.
