Château La MISSION HAUT-BRION
Grand cru classé

Occupying the southern flank of the Haut-Brion gravelly hillside and capable of exceptional success in "small" vintages, La Mission is a powerful first growth in a more fleshy and opulent register than Haut-Brion. Proof of this is its formidable 2017 rated 96/100 by M. Galloni (Vinous) "Effortless, graceful and wonderfully nuanced, this 2017 simply has everything going for it. What a wine". As for the 2016, rated 99/100 by N. Martin (Vinous), critics compare it to the dazzling 1989, no less!

J-M Quarin: 95/100 "Superb dark colour with black tints. Intense, fruity, subtle, pure and noble nose. A creamy touch as it evolves in the glass. Ample on the attack, caressing and juicy in the middle palate, the wine evolves tasty and fine with grace in its touch and unfolding. It goes on to be juicy and noble.What a taste." (April 2025)
