CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT BRION 1999

Wine 1999 Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pessac Leognan

Mission Haut Brion 1999 is made from 52% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. The 1999 vintage was full of excesses: storms, a very hot summer and overall quite brutal climatic conditions. However, La Mission Haut Brion offers a very promising and good quality wine. The 1999 Mission Haut Brion is an example in Bordeaux in this vintage, with leather, cocoa and a balance on the palate that makes this wine a harmony on the palate.

(6-2009) Mid crimson, mid evolution. Light and a bit lean. Definitely doesn't taste like a member of the first growth club in this particular vintage! Rather awkward and jagged. Though long and rich on the finish. I am perhaps being a bit hard on this wine.

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.
