The estate was purchased in 1983 by the Dillon family, owners of Haut Brion. It is undoubtedly this propensity to give everything at once that distinguishes La Mission Haut-Brion wines and attracts many wine tasters. It is also the heightened expression of the Graves de Pessac terroir. During its aging process and as it matures, La Mission Haut-Brion is always generous, constantly revealing itself fully. The hedonistic side of La Mission Haut-Brion and the consistency of these qualities are characteristics that make it very appealing.
