Robert Parker (92)

More closed and shy than La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, the 2021 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion offers up a delicate, complex bouquet with aromas of plums, spices, lead pencil, licorice and dark berries. Medium to full-bodied with a structuring core of fruit, it’s seamless and vibrant with a long, penetrating finish. Keep it over the next decade.

James Suckling (95)

Lots of iodine and oyster-shell aromas, together with blackberry and black cherry, following through to a medium to full body. Polished yet slightly chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Grilled orange. 70.4% merlot, 18.2% cabernet sauvignon and 11.4% cabernet franc.

Jancis Robinson (16)

Fragrant red-fruit notes. Broad and smooth on attack with finely integrated tannins. Palate a bit more subdued but fresh with firmness on the finish. Room for development.

Vinous (90)

The 2021 Le Clarence de Haut-Brion is soft, supple and expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. Succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, incense and tobacco are pushed forward. Silky contours wrap it all together. The 2021 is attractive but also quite soft.
