LA CHAPELLE DE LA MISSION HAUT BRION, 2023

PRIMEURS - LIVRAISON 2026

"A beautiful dark, red colour. At this point, the nose is concentrated, fruity andalready spicy, with an almost resinous hint. Creamy and taut at the sametime on the first taste, the wine then develops on the palate, moderately full,but perfectly well-balanced, with a lovely presence of plump tannins." - Château La Mission Haut Brion

History and anecdotes

Located in front of Château Haut-Brion upon which it shares a large gravel terrace, the Mission Haut-Brion’s history is closely related to the Château Haut-Brion ones.

It was founded in the 16th century by the Lestonnac family when Arnaud de Lestonnac got married to Marie de Pontac (Haut-Brion). In the following century, it was bequeathed to the Vincentian priests of the Mission who carried out major works on the vines. In the 19th, the Chiapella family related to Louisiana, participated in the Mission Haut-Brion’s transatlantic reputation. In 1983, the Clarence Dillon estate, owner of Château Haut-Brion, acquired the Mission, thus benefiting from the same know-how.

The Mission Haut-Brion was seized during the French Revolution and sold as “National Asset ''. “If God would forbid drinking, would he have made this wine as good as it is?” would have declared the Marshal de Richelieu about the Mission Haut-Brion.
