Château Haut-Brion is amongst the most prestigious First Growth in this appellation. Other renowned wineries in the region include the Super Second Château La Mission Haut-Brion, and the fast ascending Château Smith Haut-Lafitte and Domaine de Chevalier, all of which are known for their exceptional red and white blends.

Jeb Dunnuck (93)Black cherries, smoked earth, leather, and graphite all emerge from the 2022 Château Olivier, a concentrated, rich, medium to full-bodied 2022 that has building tannins, solid mid-palate depth and richness, and a great finish. Give it a few years for the tannins to round into form, and this beauty will cruise over the following 15-20 years. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (87-90)Pale straw yellow. Subdued aromas and flavors of fresh citrus fruit, underripe apricot, vanilla and sage, plus a complicating saline nuance. Finishes moderately persistent, with a slightly diffuse quality. This will need to put on weight and gain in complexity to warrant a higher rating, but it's certainly clean and precise. |

Wine Advocate (92)The 2014 Olivier Blanc has retained that attractive mineral-drenched bouquet that I enjoyed so much out of barrel: fine delineation and a sense of energy bursting from the glass. The palate is very fresh on the entry with lime cordial, kiwi fruit and a touch of lemongrass, less shrill than it showed at primeur but with an engaging, lip-smacking salinité on the persistent finish. Excellent white Pessac-Léognan. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2015 Olivier Blanc has a fragrant bouquet of fresh pear, red apple and light lanolin aromas soaring from the glass. The palate is very appley on the entry: Granny Smith apples and a touch of pear segue into a ginger-tinged second half that fans out nicely. Lacks a little sophistication but is well-crafted. One of the better white Oliviers that I have tasted in recent years. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. |

Wine Enthusiast (94)As with its red, the white wine from this chateau continues to improve. Balanced and ripe, with bright, forward fruit, this wine has so much freshness while at the same time fruity generosity. With notes of spice, a pleasant mineral texture and final burst of acidity, this is a wine for aging. |

Decanter (95)Gentle minerality on the nose delivers a gorgeous white peach character that slowly builds. It effortlessly replaces one sensation with the next, just building ever so slowly in power and juice, and pulsates through. Those aromatics are a little subtle at first, but it doesn't take long in the glass for them to come out: sage and soft white flowers, then a slam of citrus and luscious nectarine. One of the whites of the vintage. 35% new oak. |

Medium to full-bodied, fresh and lively, the acids have fallen away and the tannins have melted into an opulent, fleshy, classic Bordeaux. Consume it over the next 10-15 years. Bravo! |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92)(-) Medium ruby-red. Exotic aromas of currant, plum, tobacco, minerals, smoke and spices, complicated by hints of cherry-cola and pepper. At once generous and juicy, with lovely inner-mouth aromatic character and a strong impression of soil to the flavors of candied redcurrant, tobacco and spices. Finishes broad and long, with a fine dusting of sweet tannins. Very strong for the year. |

Wine Advocate (95)One of the top successes of the vintage, this blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot was harvested between October 8 and 24. The late harvest ensured perfect ripeness as evidenced by the sweet bouquet of black cherries, lead pencil shavings, cassis and subtle barbecue smoke. Well-balanced with good acidity, ripe tannins, medium to full body and a layered mouthfeel, this excellent 2008 can be drunk now and over the next 15+ years. |

Wine Advocate (97)The iconic 2012 Pape Clement is a candidate for near-perfection as well as one of the wines of the vintage. From proprietor Bernard Magrez, this is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. This extraordinary vineyard (a few miles to the west of Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion) has hit all the highlights of this vintage. Interestingly, the quality of the Pomerols and Graves wines in 2012 is closer to what one would consider a great vintage than the general image of 2012. This is truly great wine and not far off their magnificent 2005 and 2010. Full-bodied, with rich cassis, subtle burning embers and spice followed by velvety, well-integrated tannins, the wine is lush, expansive, savory and profound. This is a remarkable wine that could be drunk at a reasonably young age, but should cellar brilliantly for a quarter-century. Yields were modest at 37 hectoliters per hectare from this 132-acre estate. The alcohol level came in at 13.5%. |
