Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the preeminent estates in Graves, Pessac-Léognan and is renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated and long-lived wines. The 1988 is a full bodied wine with powerful tannins and truffled, smoked, earthy complexity. Fully mature, yet retaining beautiful fruit character, this is ready to be enjoyed.
The 1988 La Mission Haut-Brion is perhaps a bit of a step down from the First Growths. Black fruit billows from the glass with touches of kelp and black olive compote, gaining complexity with time. The palate is very refined, unusually understated for this estate, harmonious and sensual. Anis hints are present towards the grainy-textured, gravelly finish. This La Mission is fully mature, but it will continue to give many years of drinking pleasure.

Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion

Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the preeminent estates in the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated and long-lived wines. The prestigious first label, La Mission Haut-Brion, is a near equal blend of Cabernet and Merlot, giving wonderfully focused wines with bramble and floral character. This illustrious estate also produces a stellar second label, La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion.

Two beautiful whites are made: La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, which is a aromatic, Sémillon-dominant blend with beautiful citrus and stone fruit, and a second white, La Clarté de Haut Brion (which also takes grapes from the Château Haut-Brion estate).
