Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-garnet color with impressive concentration. The nose is layered and complex, offering dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, graphite and subtle smoky spice, all lifted by floral and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and polished, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant freshness and remarkable length. The fruit is ripe but restrained, supported by earthy, savory tones and a refined structure that suggests excellent aging potential over the coming decades.

Production
La Mission Haut-Brion comes from gravelly soils in Graves, where the warm, well-drained terroir helps produce wines of depth, elegance and aromatic complexity. The vintage was harvested with a focus on optimal ripeness, and vinification was carried out with great precision to preserve purity of fruit, structure and site expression.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game birds and dishes with mushrooms or truffle. Serve at 16-18°C and consider decanting for 1-2 hours if drinking young, to allow the wine to fully open up.

Located in Graves, across from its illustrious neighbor Haut-Brion, the château has long been regarded as one of the region’s finest producers and is celebrated for wines of depth, longevity and distinction.
