Description
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a prestigious wine estate located in Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux. Renowned for its exceptional red wine, it blends tradition with innovation, producing a wine that captivates connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike.
La Mission Haut-Brion Rouge is known for its deep ruby color and complex bouquet.

The palate is full-bodied, featuring a harmonious balance of ripe tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish.
The estate’s unique terroir plays a crucial role in its wine’s character. The gravelly soils allow for excellent drainage, promoting healthy vine growth. The microclimate benefits from the nearby Garonne River, providing ideal conditions for ripening grapes.
