Still tightly coiled, but the core should unfurl beautifully, revealing a panoply of intense and vivid white ginger, macadamia nut, yellow apple, wet straw and green almond notes. The long, citrus oil–accented finish has great tension. Destined for a long life. Best from 2017 through 2027. 533 cases made.

A pure and steely white with sliced lemon, apple, pear and mineral aromas and flavors. Full body, bright acidity and a clean and lively finish. A real beauty. Hot stones and peach stone. Stylish and intriguing white. Drink or hold.

The 2013 La Mission Haut Brion Blanc, a blend of 24% Sauvignon Blanc and 76% Semillon, had a surprisingly backward, stoic bouquet that frankly refused to come out to play when I tasted it at the château. The palate is much better and more representative, very well balanced and powerful, with notes of grapefruit and honeysuckle, quite spicy towards the finish, as if making up for the reticence on the nose. This is a La Mission Haut Brion Blanc that I suspect will grow up to be outgoing and maybe even fiery, but it will require several years in bottle to settle down.

The Estate

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a prestigious wine estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, France. Founded in the 16th century, it has a long and illustrious history in winemaking. The estate was acquired by the owners of Château Haut-Brion, the Dillon family, in 1983, but it continues to maintain its distinct identity and wine style. La Mission Haut-Brion is classified as a Graves Cru Classé, producing both red and white wines of exceptional quality and aging potential.

Late Summer Saves Vintage

Spring rain and cool temperatures challenged the Graves vineyards, yet the estate's warm gravel soils provided crucial drainage and ripening conditions. Late August sun allowed the Sauvignon Blanc to develop fully, particularly in the sheltered parcels. The wine reveals intense citrus, white flowers, and smoky minerals with the textural complexity unique to Pessac-Léognan's white wines.
