Vintage 2023

After a rainy and cold winter, the vine experienced rapid growth supported by regular rains and warm days. These conditions favored the development of mildew, which was contained by the vineyard team's efforts. The flowering occurred in perfect conditions, promising a generous harvest. 

Viticulture

"2023 was a technical year in terms of vineyard management, requiring precision and responsiveness from the teams. The strength of this almost 'blessed' terroir is once again illustrated, providing a generous, healthy, and high-quality harvest." - Ch. Haut-Brion

Harvest

From September 6 to October 4.

Aging

The wine was aged in 45.6% new French oak barrels.

Wine Profile

"Beautiful pale yellow color. The nose of this Clarté is quite aromatic and presents a very beautiful, clean, and chiselled expression of Sauvignon, which is the majority in the blend. The attack is both fatty, flavorful, and nervy: the Sémillon, discreet on the nose, reveals itself in the mouth, providing a sensation of fruity, elegant softness. Very beautiful impression of harmony and relative persistence." - Ch. Haut-Brion

Détails chateau 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.
