The 2017 Château Larrivet Haut-Brion from Pessac-Léognan is a quintessential Bordeaux red, reflecting the distinct character of its Graves terroir. This wine is likely a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and possibly a hint of Cabernet Franc, typical for the region, though the exact mix is unspecified. The 2017 vintage experienced a cooler growing season with occasional rain, leading to wines with fresh acidity and finesse. The terroir of Pessac-Léognan, with its gravelly soils, imparts a unique minerality and elegance to the wine, while the region's maritime climate ensures a balanced, ripe expression of the fruit. Château Larrivet Haut-Brion itself carries a storied legacy with a growing reputation for producing exceptional wines that are smooth and sophisticated.
For food pairings, this Pessac-Léognan red would beautifully complement roasted lamb with herbs, and it pairs well with earthy mushroom dishes. Considering regional cuisine, a classic Bordelaise steak or duck breast with a cranberry reduction would enhance the wine's depth and structure, drawing out its rich, layered flavours.
When it comes to tasting, serve this wine at around 16-18°C (60-64°F) to ensure its complex aromas unfurl effectively. A decanting time of about one to two hours would help open up the bouquet. During tasting, observe the wine's deep ruby colour, inhale the aromas of dark berries and earthy notes, and finally, savour the harmonious balance of tannins and acidity on the palate.
