Country of Origin: France

The property was given its current name, Château Larrivet Haut-Brion, in 1929 by Jacques Guillemaud (owner since 1941). Devoted and hard-working, he conscientiously managed the estate until 1982.

In 1987, Château Larrivet Haut-Brion was acquired by the Gervoson family, who set about recreating the grandeur of the Chateau. Currently, the Château is comprised of 17 hectares of vineyards, a wooded park of 13 hectares and other notable attributes, giving the Château an undisputed potential. In keeping with their dedication and attention to detail, Philippe and Christine Gervoson have succeeded in reestablishing the unity of the estate.

In just a few years, the area under vine has reached 72.5 hectares (11.5 hectares of white wine grapes and 61 of red) thanks to newly-planted plots and the purchase of neighbouring vineyards. Assisted by a motivated and dedicated winemaking team, the owners continue to modernise infrastructures, reorganise the vineyards (based on a detailed soil survey), and make quality wines with a unique personality and characteristic elegance. Availing the estate of his considerable expertise and ambitions, Bruno Lemoine took over his functions as Managing Director and Winemaker at Larrivet Haut-Brion in 2007. A respect for tradition and the important role played by women are part Château Larrivet Haut-Brion's identity.

​The team grew in 2009 to include Emilie Gervoson, one of the château owner's three daughters, who represents a new epicurean generation anxious to be as professional as possible in all aspects of winemaking. Sharing the same philosophy, and complementary to one another, Bruno and Emilie have given an important new impetus to the estate.

The attack is full, wide but without heaviness. The powerful mid-palate reveals the fruity notes that supported the nose. A very nice acidity comes to energize this matter, and tightens the mouth on an energetic final.
