Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 2020 opens with deep blackcurrant and blackberry layered with dark cherry, cocoa, pencil shavings and a hint of roasted coffee and tobacco. The palate is full and richly concentrated yet superbly poised, with ultra-fine, powdery tannins and vibrant acidity giving a seamless, long and graceful finish that shows both the ripe power of the vintage and a striking sense of classical balance.

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.
