Château La Mission-Haut-Brion


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. La Mission-Haut-Brion is situated just across the road from Haut-Brion in the commune of Talence in the southern suburbs of Bordeaux. Since 1983, both properties have been under the same ownership, Domaine Clarence Dillon S.A.

La Mission-Haut-Brion's vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 48%, Merlot 45%, Cabernet Franc 7%) lie on a large (up to 18 metres deep in places) gravel bank interspersed with clay. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and then matured in oak barriques (100% new) for 18 months. The wines of La Mission Haut Brion are rich, oaky and powerful and need at least 10 years of bottle ageing before they should be broached.

With only 36% of the crop making it into the Grand Vin in 2007, there is 25% less of this wonderfully silky La Mission than in 2006. Made from a higher than normal 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot (the same as Haut-Brion) and 9% Cabernet Franc, it is wonderfully aromatic with exuberant yet ... MORE

Every year there is a battle royal between the two outstanding wines from dapper owner Prince Robert of Luxembourg, with First Growth Haut-Brion tending just to come out on top. Not so in 2006 where La Mission is definitely the star of the show. Its 2006 has an incredible depth and focus, with ... MORE

"A superstar of this great vintage...its inky purple color is accompanied by extravagantly sweet aromas of blackberries, blueberries, toast, scorched earth, coffee, asphalt, graphite, and smoke. Super-intense and unctuously-textured, with a sumptuous mid-palate and finish, this is ... MORE

Much like its nearby rival, Haut Brion, the 1990 La Mission has always been relatively evolved, complex, and supple-textured. Even at age 3-4 it performed beautifully. The tannins are sweet, the acidity low, and the high levels of glycerin and concentrated fruit have always been present, and they ... MORE
