Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan
Philippe Gervoson
Château Larrivet Haut-Brion was cited as one of the leading wines in the commune of Léognan as early as 1840.

The Gervoson family acquired the estate in 1987 and have worked hard ever since to restore this wine’s illustrious reputation.

Spread over a hundred hectares, Larrivet Haut-Brion presently has 75 hectares of vines, as well as 13 hectares of grounds, woods, and meadows.

An ambitious modernisation programme in the cellar (pneumatic winepress using inert gas, optical sorting of grapes, etc.) and vineyard (detailed soil survey for improved plot-by-plot management) has resulted in wines reputed for their elegance and character.

Representing the upcoming generation of her family, Émilie Gervoson tirelessly works towards enhancing Château Larrivet Haut-Brion and promoting the wine around the world.
