Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 2009 is a powerful, luxurious Graves red, saturating the palate with layers of ripe blackcurrant, fig and dark cherry wrapped in mocha, licorice and warm earth. The texture is dense yet polished, the tannins silky but abundant, giving great drive and length to a finish that lingers with spice, graphite and fine, cedary savor. A grand, hedonistic vintage that still keeps its structure and freshness firmly in place.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is the powerful, charismatic grand vin of this historic Pessac-Léognan estate, crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grown on deep, quartz-rich gravel over clay and sand just outside Bordeaux. Often dubbed Bordeaux’s “sixth first growth,” it is known for intensely structured yet velvety reds that marry opulence with finesse and age effortlessly for decades, reflecting a terroir closely linked to neighboring Château Haut-Brion but with its own distinct, brooding personality.
