Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Records trace Château Larrivet Haut-Brion to 1840, although the property reached its present name only in 1929. Philippe and Christine Gervoson acquired the then-seventeen-hectare estate in 1987 and began the long work of restoring its vineyards and cellars. The property has since grown to more than seventy hectares.

Its Pessac-Léognan vineyards lie on deep gravel terraces over sand and clay. The red plantings combine Merlot with both Cabernets, while Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon carry the estate’s white-wine tradition. The cellar works with selections from individual parcels and a variety of ageing vessels.
