Château Larrivet Haut-Brion
In Pessac‑Léognan, Château Larrivet Haut‑Brion marries Graves heritage with a restless modern streak. Cited among Léognan’s leading wines as early as the 1840s, the estate’s contemporary renaissance began in 1987 when the Gervoson family set about restoring the property hectare by hectare.
A true mosaic of gravel and sand across some 75 hectares of vines is farmed parcel by parcel; since 2015 Stéphane Derenoncourt has steered the precision work from vineyard to cellar. Alongside barrels, the winery embraces concrete ‘eggs’ and terracotta jars—not as theatre, but as tools to shape texture, preserve energy and respect fruit.
The result is a Pessac‑Léognan defined by craft and curiosity: structured yet balanced, expressive yet grounded, carrying the quiet gravitas that belongs to the Graves soils.Château Larrivet Haut-Brion
