Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
This vintage clearly demonstrates how well La Mission-Haut-Brion can do in an off year. The year 1972 was certainly the worst vintage of the decade, yet this wine displays a wonderfully fragrant, spicy, cedary, slightly herbaceous, berry-scented bouquet, ripe, round, spicy flavors, medium body, and an attractively lush finish.

I think the rating would be even higher if this wine had not been double decanted. The colour is clear and the nose smells nicely of truffle, liquorice, fruit despite some less encouraging iodine notes. Palate presenting flavours of fruit and ink. The body remains medium, presents aromatic and without any tannic harshness.

Tom Cannavan (01-2008) Briar, truffle and brown sugar sweetness showing through. Some coffee. The palate doesn't show so well, with a hollowness about the mid palate and just vestiges of fruit.

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.
