Tasting notes

The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc opens in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, lemongrass, crisp stone fruits and wet stones framed by a touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, layered and racy, with chalky structure and a mouthwatering finish, it was bottled under Diam 30.

About this wine

Château La Mission Haut-Brion's white wine represents one of Bordeaux's finest expressions of Pessac-Léognan terroir. This esteemed estate, situated in the heart of the appellation's gravelly plateau, has cultivated a reputation for producing elegant, age-worthy wines that reflect both the region's unique soil composition and meticulous winemaking craftsmanship.

Crafted from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this white delivers a distinctive profile shaped by the chalky, mineral-rich soils of Pessac-Léognan. The blend showcases the freshness and citrus character of Sauvignon Blanc balanced with the body and complexity that Semillon provides, creating a full-bodied wine with green fruit notes and a characteristically chalky minerality that defines the region's finest whites.

This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, white fish, and poultry, while its structure and complexity also complement creamy preparations with goat cheese and pork dishes. Ideal for discerning collectors and those seeking sophisticated Bordeaux white wines, Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc represents the pinnacle of Pessac-Léognan quality.
