La Clarte De Haut Brion Blanc 算是 ChateauHaut-Brion（奧比昂又稱紅顏容）白酒和 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion（修道院奧比昂）白的共同副牌，享受著正牌酒同一片風土，採用同樣的葡萄培育方法以及一樣的釀酒設備和技術，且由同樣的釀酒團隊打造，既有著與正牌酒相似的風格，也有著出眾的好品質，可以說是正牌酒的縮影。

這款副牌酒其實自1990 年起一直存在，但它原名為 Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion。從 2009 年份起，酒莊賦予其全新的名字La Clartede Haut-Brion。

Chateau Haut-Brion 位於波爾多 Graves 的 Pessac-Leognan 產區，是1855分級（1855 Classification）中唯一一個位於 Medoc 地區之外的酒莊，且高居一級莊之列。此外，該酒莊也被評為Crus Classes de Graves，其生產的紅、白葡萄酒位列波爾多頂級葡萄酒名單。

作為法國葡萄酒界金字塔尖的頂級名莊之一，Chateau Haut-Brion 從不缺乏讚美和追捧，單是Robert Parker Team 就曾先後共計8 次給予其酒款滿分好評。在近十年倫敦國際葡萄酒交易所（Liv-ex）揭曉的“Power 100”品牌排名榜單中，Chateau Haut-Brion 多年雄踞榜單前十。

Chateau Haut-Brion 內目前擁有葡萄園共計 51 公頃，其中紅葡萄占 48 公頃，表層土壤為砂礫石土，次層土壤為砂質粘土型土壤。種植葡萄比例為 45% Cabernet Sauvignon，40% Merlot，15% Cabernet Franc，釀造正牌酒 Chateau Haut-Brion 和副牌酒 Le Clarence de Haut -Brion。葡萄樹平均樹齡為35年。另有 3 公頃種植白葡萄 Semillon和 Sauvignon Blanc 兩種，年產量只得1000箱，十分稀少，釀造波爾多最頂尖的白葡萄酒 Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc。Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc 無論價格還是品質除是波爾多白酒頂級列, 也是世界最頂尖之一。

TASTING NOTES:

Pale-yellow colour. The initial impression on the nose is relatively intense.Swirling in the glass reveals subtle aromas characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc,accompanied by hints of aniseed and spice. Starts out delicate and aromatic on the palate,becoming rich and full-bodied with wonderful acidity.Notes of white flowers follow through to the finish. A superb wine best enjoyed young.

Gorgeous aromas of mango, pineapple, lime and dusty stone follow through to a medium-bodied palate with a creamy, ultra-fine texture. Flavorful and beautiful. Wonderful length. Extremely racy and fine in the mouth.

Full of exotic spice and tropical flavors, this is a rich wine. The second white wine from Haut-Brion is packed with ripe white fruits, densely textured, full-bodied and set to age well.

The 2019 La Clarte de Haut- Brion is every bit as compelling as it was last year. Today, as back then, what stands out most is the interplay of rich fruit and energy. Orchard fruit, lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper all grace this super-expressive, racy white. La Clarte is obviously not as complex as its two siblings, the Blancs from Haut- Brion and La Mission Hout Brion, but it is absolutely exqusite.

With aromas of confit citrus fruit, peaches, grapefruit and pastry cream, the 2019 La Clarté de Haut-Brion is full-bodied, deep and fleshy, with a satiny attack that segues into an ample core of fruit underpinned by lively acids and chalky structure. A combined second wine for both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion, this has turned out nicely in bottle, delivering a wine that's richer and headier in style than its 2018 predecessor.

Tasty, with a mix of quinine, Key lime, tangerine and white peach flavors that are seamlessly layered and kissed with a hint of brioche through the stylish finish. This will stand a touch of cellaring, too. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
