Why shop with us?
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2016 pairs the estate’s signature smoky, mineral character with the concentration and poise of a highly regarded vintage. From historic Pessac-Léognan, it is a complex Bordeaux red built to reward patient cellaring.
Tasting Notes
Deep in colour, it opens with aromas of dark berries and blackcurrant, followed by graphite, cedar, smoke, tobacco and warm spice. The palate is concentrated yet composed, with a firm, precise structure balanced by a generous core of dark fruit.
Its depth and tannic structure point to a long life in bottle. It can be enjoyed after careful decanting, though further ageing should bring added harmony and complexity.
Production
The estate lies in Pessac-Léognan, where gravelly soils contribute to the appellation’s distinctive mineral character. Specific details on the 2016 harvest and vinification are not provided.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game, or mature hard cheeses. Decant for a few hours before serving to allow the wine’s aromas and structure to open; older bottles may need less time and should be handled gently.
Producer
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a historic estate in Pessac-Léognan, with origins dating back to the 16th century. It is known for Bordeaux reds with a distinctive smoky, mineral profile that sets them apart from many wines of the region.
