CHÂTEAU LARRIVET HAUT BRION

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion is the story of a family dedicated to creating great wines, with a resolutely bold and visionary spirit.

The story begins in 1987, when Philippe and Christine Gervoson acquired the estate. With perseverance and patience, they devoted more than thirty years of their lives to a major challenge: to turn a vineyard in perdition into one of the finest vineyards of the region and of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a simple, accessible and welcoming estate that reflects their own personality.
