La Mission Haut Brion 2020 is a full-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Here presented in half-bottled format, the 2020 combines 48.6% Merlot, 43.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8.2% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of black cherries, kirsch, and blackcurrant jelly, along with hints of rose oil, sandalwood, tree bark, and Indian spices. The palate is full-bodied with robust black fruit flavours, supported by firm yet rounded tannins and refreshing acidity, leading to a long and perfumed finish.
The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion has a detailed bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, black olive, terracotta and a light wet clayey scent (I sometimes think of a potter`s wheel.) It gains complexity in the glass and becomes increasingly refined. The palate is beautifully balanced and caters for the 14.7% alcohol with ease. Very fine tannins, perfectly matched with the acidity, beguiling in terms of its cohesive and velvety smooth finish that lingers long in the mouth. The greatest La Missions are the effortless ones and the 2020 is just that. Beautiful. - Neil Martin

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).
