Vintage 2024
Between mild winter and spring rains, the 2024 vintage began with an early budburst, followed by weather conditions that slowed vine growth. Thanks to the teams’ constant attention, meticulous canopy management and precise leaf thinning, the quality of the grapes was preserved.

Viticulture
"The resilience of the vine, supported and guided by the unwavering determination of our teams, allowed us to see through a demanding season, ultimately offering expressive fruit and promising juices." – Domaines Clarence Dillon

Harvest
Harvest began on September 17 and ended on October 4. In 2024, the vegetative cycle progressed slowly, whereas in 2023 it started earlier (on September 6) but ended on the same day. A few days before harvest, a northeast wind helped aerate the vines and concentrate the berries. A rigorous selection was carried out to retain only berries with optimal ripeness and perfect health.

Aging
The wine was aged in 31% new French oak barrels.

Wine Profile
"If this tightrope-walking vintage embraced contrast up to harvest, it was to ultimately deliver, in its final bouquet, expressive fruits—harbingers of wines full of promise." – Domaines Clarence Dillon

Détails chateau 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.
