    Product description

    29 hectares in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, planted on deep gravel soils over clay and sand. Vines average 30 years of age, with meticulous vineyard management practices, including green harvesting, leaf thinning, and manual harvesting. Traditional winemaking methods are employed, with fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 18–22 months in 80% new French oak barrels. Bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe plums, graphite, and smoky cedar, with nuances of crushed violets and tobacco. The palate is opulent, with velvety tannins, layers of dark fruit, savoury earthiness, and a touch of mocha.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Château La Mission Haut-Brion

    Château la Mission Haut-Brion is classed among the Crus Classés in the Graves classification of 1953. In the early 16th century, the land belonged to the family de Rostaing of the house of de la Tour d’Esquivens. The land was planted with vines before it was passed to the Lestonnac family in 1540. In 1919 it was sold by Victor Coustau to Fréderic Otto Woltner. Family discord led to the sale of the estate, along with La Tour Haut-Brion and Laville Haut-Brion in 1983 to Domaine Clarence Dillon, owners of Château Haut-Brion since 1935. Château La Mission-Haut-Brion is the greatest Graves wine after Haut-Brion and in some vintages is considered the superior wine of the two.

    Situated on uniquely stony soil, the vineyard area extends nearly 21 hectares between the two portions in Pessac and Léognan, with a grape variety distribution of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and then matured in 100% new oak barriques for 18 months. The wines of La Mission Haut Brion are rich, oaky and powerful and need a minimum of 10 years of bottle ageing before drinking.
