Pre-2009, La Mission-Haut-Brion was known as Laville-Haut-Brion. The 1996 is a slightly lighter release but nonetheless exudes lovely complexity and elegance. There is ample fruit, crisp acidity and plenty of drinking pleasure on offer.

Fatter, more exotic aromas of hay, minerals, spice and honey; slightly dulled today by some sulfur. Rich and ripe; fatter and considerably longer than the '97. Has the glyceral texture of semillon, but also possesses a firm citric spine.

Long Lived Reds and Whites
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).
