Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2022

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, "La Mission has long been one of the best wines and one of the most consistent in terms of quality." Certainly the most mysterious wine in the Haut-Brion line!

    Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil, floral et délicatement fumé. Ample à l'attaque, ample en milieu de bouche, très aromatique, gras, puissant et énergique, le vin va loin en finale, complexe et savoureux. Puis viennent les touches tanniques tramant l'ensemble. Assemblage : 51,7 % cabernet sauvignon, 43,2 % merlot, 5,1 % cabernet franc. Degré d’alcool : 14°2 - pH : 3,9 (moyenne +). IPT : 75. Rendement : 28 hl/ha. Avril 2023.

    Superbe intensité du bouquet, complexe de surcroît, avec de nombreuses facettes. Ainsi, il révèle des notes de réglisse, de violettes, de baies rouges et noires et même une touche de garrigues. En bouche, le vin se révèle avec une exceptionnelle finesse. Profond et élégant, il ne manque pas d’afficher une puissance parfaitement canalisée, imposante et sereine, qui va de pair avec le côté structurant de la tension présente. Un vin tonique, sapide, salivant et entraînant ! Quelle magnifique réussite aboutit par une interminable finale. Je ne l’avais pas aussi bien dégusté en primeurs. Mea Culpa. 2028-2054. Décembre 2024.

    Wonderful aromatics on the nose - chocolate, tobacco, blackcurrants, figs and strawberries. Clean and crystalline, such a lovely texture to the wine - beautifully refined, the tannins super fine but coating the palate in a layer of chalky powder and leaving a fine mineral grip on the tongue. Well constructed, certainly not plush or heavy, this is straight and streamlined, svelte but with power running underneath and the muscles flexing towards the finish giving a flash of heat and grippy spice. There's tension but it comes across as more energetic than making the wine feel compact. I love the salty, crushed stone and graphite touch on the finish. Nothing is out of place. Very much like its Primeurs sample. 3.95pH. 62% new oak. Drinking window: 2030 - 2052. Georgina Hindle. January 2025.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    Less muscular and more approachable than it appeared en primeur, the 2022 La Mission Haut-Brion has turned out beautifully in bottle. Unfurling with aromas of spices, smoke, dark berries, pencil lead and licorice mingled with delicate floral top-notes, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated with a velvety attack that segues into an elegantly structured and energetic mid-palate that's nicely framed by sweet but abundant tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating and perfumed finish. It's a blend of 51.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43.2% Merlot and 5.1% Cabernet Franc. Drinking window: 2032 - 2052. Yohan Castaing. 96+/100. March 2025.

    The wine is so balanced with acidity and ripe spice. It has a generous character, offering softness within firm tannins plus beautiful blackberry fruits and balanced acidity. The wine is set for the long-term. Roger Voss. February 2023.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Located southwest of Bordeaux, Château La Mission Haut-Brion has been dedicated to viticulture since 1540. The Dillon family acquired the property in 1983, comprising 29 hectares of vines and forming part of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The estate faces Château Haut-Brion and shares with it this vast gravel terrace, called Haut-Brion.
