Parker about The Clarity of Haut-Brion 2021
A blend of 55% Sémillon and 45% Sauvignon Blanc, the 2021 La Clarté de Haut-Brion exhibits aromas of crisp nectarine, citrus oil, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, lively and textural, it's beautifully balanced, concluding with a long, saline finish. It's worth serious consideration this year.

The Clarity of Haut-Brion 2021

La Clarté de Haut-Brion is the second wine of the renowned Château Haut-Brion, one of the leading wineries in the Bordeaux region. This second wine is typically made from younger vines or from plots not included in the winery's main cuvée.
Typically, La Clarté de Haut-Brion is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, known for its finesse and elegance. The combination of these grape varieties often results in a wine with balanced acidity, fruity aromas, and a certain structure.
The exact characteristics and flavor profiles may vary from vintage to vintage, as they are strongly influenced by climatic conditions and winemaking techniques. However, the wines of this second wine tend to display a certain proximity to the outstanding qualities of the winery's main wine, even if they may be somewhat more accessible and drinkable sooner.
