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.
Pessac-Léognan is a prestigious wine appellation located in the Graves region of Bordeaux, France. Established in 1987, it encompasses both red and white wine production, with a particular reputation for high-quality reds. The region's wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and ability to age gracefully, often displaying a unique combination of power and finesse.
The vineyard sits on a remarkable terroir consisting of deep gravel beds over a subsoil of clay, sand, and limestone. This soil composition provides excellent drainage and heat retention, creating ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The estate's proximity to the city of Bordeaux results in a slightly warmer microclimate, which aids in grape ripening and contributes to the wine's full-bodied character and complex aromatics.
