Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 2015 is muscular yet polished, layering cassis, black raspberry and currant fruit over deep notes of warm stones, tobacco and subtle spice. The palate is concentrated and seamless, with silken but powerful tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish that already shows great class but clearly promises even more complexity with time in bottle.

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.
