Much better than the '70 : fragrance, harmony, length. Lovely.

A very smoky nose of bacon fat and dark muscovado sugar, with truffle and undergrowth. The palate has very appealing, juicy black fruit and cherry-like acidity. Fine tannins sit behind the fruit and smoky oak in a wine with real presence that drinks well.

Mid-ruby. Quite light. Some sweetness, followed by tartness. Not much fun and quite volatile, but not dead... There is still a core of fruit, which is rather impressive in a way.

Tasted from magnum. Rich and decadent, with delicious, velvety fruit flavours. Deep red colour, tobacco and blackberry aromas, full-bodied, with lovely ripe fruit flavours, medium tannins and a velvety mouthfeel.

Château Château La Mission Haut Brion
Château La Mission Haut Brion
Château La Mission Haut Brion

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the most iconic estates in Pessac-Léognan, renowned for the depth, longevity and singularity of its red and white wines. Classified as a Cru Classé de Graves, the château shares with its illustrious neighbour Château Haut-Brion a long history and an exceptional terroir, whilst asserting its own stylistic identity, often described as more powerful and more earthy.

Planted on deep gravelly soils mixed with clay and sand, the vineyard benefits from a grape variety mix dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the reds, complemented by Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites. This diversity allows for precise blending, giving rise to wines of great aromatic intensity, structured yet always balanced.

Since its integration into the Dillon family fold, La Mission Haut-Brion has undergone exemplary modernisation of its facilities whilst maintaining a respectful approach to the terroir. The winemaking is carried out with great precision, aiming to preserve the expression of the soil and the purity of the fruit.

Major vintages such as the 1947 red wine, the 1949 vintage, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1982, the mythical 1989 wine, the 1990 vintage, the 2000 wine, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2010, illustrate the estate's ability to produce exceptional age-worthy wines, sought after on the fine wine collector's market and recognised for their remarkable evolution over the decades.
