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

Very smoky, bacon fat and dark Muscovado nose, with truffle and undergrowth. The palate has some very attractive, juicy black fruit and cherryish acidity too. The tannins are fine and sit behind the fruit and smoky oak, in a wine that has a bit of presence and drinks well.

Mid ruby. Quite light. Some sweetness and then tartness. No fun and pretty volatile but not dead... Some core of fruit still, which it pretty impressive in a way.

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

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 neighbor Château Haut-Brion a long history and an exceptional terroir, while 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 blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the reds, complemented by Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc for the whites. This diversity allows for precise assemblages, 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 modernization of its facilities while 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 collecting market and recognized for their remarkable evolution over the decades.
