【Feature】Château Larrivet Haut-Brion
Château Larrivet Haut-Brion was cited as one of the leading wines in Léognan as early as 1840. The Gervoson family acquired the estate in 1987 and has worked hard ever since to restore this wine's illustrious reputation.
Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is an immensely charming 100-hectare estate. The vines are grown in an outstanding location on tall and medium-tall Garonne gravel rises. The superb 19th century château is surrounded by 13 hectares of attractive grounds, including the Jardin d'Ivresse, woods, and meadows.
An ambitious modernisation programme in the vineyard and cellar has produced wines reputed for their elegance and character.
Representing the upcoming generation of her family, Emilie Gervoson tirelessly promotes Château Larrivet Haut-Brion around the world.
