Know a bit more about the domain

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.
