2018
La Clarté de Haut-Brion
Tasting notes
Pale yellow colour with green highlights.
The nose is intense, displaying white fruit aromas after swirling in the glass.
Starts out smooth and fruity on the palate, becoming rich and full-bodied,
enhanced by delicious flavours.
The weather
The spring of 2018 was marked by frequent stormy weather.The growing season started very well, although was later slowed down as a result of a violent hailstorm on the 26th of May. The vines nevertheless recovered fairly quickly. The month of June was relatively warm, conducive to even flowering. A hot summer followed, with little rainfall. Véraison (colour change) took place under ideal conditions. A high-pressure system set in during the month of September. The grapes were picked under clear blue skies at peak ripeness and in excellent condition.
