Selection cellar Maison des Millésimes Paris
This wine, from a 2014 harvest marked by unforeseen weather conditions, benefited from the exceptional warmth of September and October.
After careful aging for 14 to 18 months in a climate-controlled cellar, in oak barrels, it presents an intense dark ruby color.
The nose gradually opens with aromas of red fruits, spices, and delicate roasted notes.
On the palate, it reveals ample, fleshy, and beautiful volume. The tannins, still young, will blend over time, offering a beautiful length as it ages in bottle.

From 1840 to the present day, the reputation of Château Larrivet Haut-Brion has continued to grow.
First known as "Château de Canolle," then "La Rivette," then successively "La Rivette" and "Brion-Larrivet," it wasn't until 1874 that the estate acquired its almost definitive name.
At that time, it was named "Château Haut-Brion Larrivet," and belonged to Ernest Laurent, a merchant from the Place de Bordeaux.
In 1893, Château Haut-Brion-Larrivet became the property of Bordeaux shipowners, Messrs. The sons of Théodor Conseil. Expanded and developed, the estate now encompassed 50 hectares of vines.
A journey back in time takes us to 1898, a fabulous year when the famous Féret guide classified the Château's wines as "exceptional vintages" in the Graves region. In the 1930s, the wine-growing crisis and successive uprootings hampered production, which became almost nonexistent.
In 1929, the estate finally acquired its name: Château Larrivet Haut-Brion. Its new owner, Mr. Guillemaud, acquired the entire vineyard in 1941. He remained the demanding and attentive owner until 1982.
