Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2007
Red wine | Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Léognan AC
The Mission takes its name from the “priests of the Mission” who cultivated the Château’s vines at the time. According to Robert Parker, "The Mission has long been one of the best wines and one of the most consistent qualitatively speaking." Certainly the most mysterious wine of the Haut-Brion lineage!

Intense purple red, with violet reflections.
Intense aromas of red and black fruits, such as raspberry and blackberry, followed by scents of Havana, roasting culminating in a very pretty woodiness.
The mouth begins with a great sensation of sweetness, then the wine broadens and invades us. From that moment on, the very mature tannins take over, giving the full measure of the great concentration of this wine.
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is located just opposite Château Haut-Brion, in the town of Talence, in an urbanized area in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The soils of this vineyard are sandy and gravelly and the subsoil clayey-sandy.
