Château La Mission Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan
Grand Cru Classé de Graves
Primeur
0,75
Red
There was a great deal of emphasis placed on the green work (berry and leaf removal) throughout the whole season in the vineyard. It ensured a very healthy crop with good yields. The blend here is 52.7% Merlot, 29.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17.7% Cabernet Franc, and produced a La Mission, which is round, supple, generous, and juicy. Dark intense purple colour; sweet plummy nose with a vein of licorice and spice; excellent creamy structure, with fine tannin; a touch of gravitas and power on the finish. This is lovely and elegant, and it should unfurl beautifully with time.

It is thanks to the efforts of André Lurton, one of the best-known growers in the area, that the appellation was formed. ...
