Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Dec 22
Composed of 56% Merlot, 39.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4.4% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 La Mission Haut-Brion is deep garnet in color. The nose begins with faint hints of cinnamon stick and clove oil before uncoiling to reveal a fragrant core of baked plums, kirsch, and cassis, plus a touch of Oolong tea. The medium to full-bodied palate is dense and profound, featuring very plush, rounded tannins and fantastic tension, finishing with a fragrant lift. "We did a lot of selection between the 2nd label and the grand vin this year," said Jean-Philippe Delmas.

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 20
A positively stunning wine, the 2017 La Mission Haut-Brion is all class. Sweet floral notes give the 2017 striking freshness, nuance and energy. Rose petal, mint, blood orange, red cherry, pomegranate and mocha are all laced together. In 2017, La Mission plays very much in the red fruit and floral end of the spectrum. Effortless, gracious and wonderfully nuanced, the 2017 simply has it all. What a wine!

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
