(VN 90-92 points) The 2022 La Clarté de Haut Brion is wonderfully open-knit and inviting. Lemon confit, passionfruit, mint and a hint of tangerine oil all grace this sensual, engaging second white wine from Haut Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion. -- Antonio Galloni

Strong aromatics; crisp green apple, grass, elderflower and ripe gooseberries. Rich and intense on the palate, an appealing weight and texture, round and filling, almost waxy and oily but kept in check by salty, creamy lemon, vanilla, peach and apricot fruit. Nicely balanced, not too sharp or acidic, more calm and controlled but still giving texture and nuance. You still get shots of citrus which lift the palate and I really like the cool creamy texture. Airy and appealing. For the vintage it’s very good and super easy to drink! 3.3pH.
