Over het wijnhuis | Château La Mission Haut-Brion is een Grand Cru Classé gevestigd in AOC Pessac-Léognan, Graves. Het is sinds 1983 in handen van de familie Dillon, tevens eigenaar van Château Haut-Brion. In 2009 heeft Liv-Ex, een toonaangevend platform voor wijnhandel, de classificatie van 1855 herzien in de context van de hedendaagse economie. Het meest opvallende verschil was de toevoeging van Château La Mission Haut-Brion als een Premier Grand Cru Classé. |

Awards | "The 2021 La Mission Haut-Brion unfurls in the glass with a complex, detailed bouquet of plums, cassis, flowers, spices, licorice and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, its fleshy, layered core of fruit is framed by beautifully velvety tannins. In bottle, much as en primeur, this blend of 48% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc is a charming, sensual rendition of La Mission." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Lots of sea-salt, iodine and purple-fruit aromas and flavors to this. Turns to bark and forest floor. Powerful. Full-bodied and muscular. 47.9% merlot, 45.8% cabernet sauvignon and 6.3% cabernet franc." - James Suckling "47.9% Merlot, 45.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6.3% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. A mix of refined power and elegance. Deep crimson hue. Fragrant dark fruit and cassis notes as the wine opens. Texturally very fine with plentiful tannins that are coated and smooth. Lovely freshness accompanied by persistence and drive. Great balance. Plenty of potential. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2021 La Mission Haut-Brion has a very cohesive bouquet, well-defined with minerally red and black fruit, hints of white flowers and a distant tang of black olive. The almost "estuarine" element becomes more prominent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite fresh though not a complex or deep La Mission. It is lifted by the salinity and sustain on the finish—also its typicité. Whilst not a wine from the top drawer, it is a fascinating, engaging Pessac that will drink over the next 20 or 30 years." - Vinous "Luscious blueberry aromas vibrate with a dry core of tannins and open black-currant flavors. The wine has an opulent character. layers of acidity and tannins, finishing with dark black fruits. Drink from 2028." - Wine Enthusiast "Green peppercorns and tomato leaf mingle with blackcurrant on the nose. Quite herbal and savoury, earthy almost with hints of fragranced perfume also. Supple with lots of energy, focus and precision - this has a real brightness to the red berry summer fruits. Crystalline and pure, a weightless touch almost but there are still tannins that give a soft support around the palate. Elegant and charming, not demonstrative really, but confident nonetheless. Quite high acidity keeps the freshness and zing and this also has a graphite undertone giving the minerality. Well worked and a characterful wine. Delicate but very enjoyable." - Decanter |
