“RP 93 - 1998 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion Bordeaux Complex aromas of scorched earth minerals black fruits lead pencil and subtle wood accompany this classic full-bodied La Mission. It boasts superb purity an expansive concentrated mid-palate and sweet tannin in the long muscular yet refined finish. This superb La Mission-Haut-Brion which requires 6-7 years of cellaring gets my nod as one of the finest La Mission's produced. RP”
Every detail we hold on this bottle, in one place, so you know exactly what is going into your cellar.
La Mission Haut Brion is situated in Bordeaux' southern suburb, Talence. From 1919 and until 1983, it was Woltner family, who had owned this property. Under Woltner's reign, La Mission Haut Brion experienced one of its most significant period with a string of excellent vintages and was considered then as fully on the level with First Growths and sometimes even better than these. In 1983, owners of Haut Brion purchased La Mission Haut Brion and today its Jean Philippe Delmas, who's responsible for this property.
There is 20 ha of vines planted with 48 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, vines are on average 21 years old, and the wine spends 20 months in new oak. It's challenging and almost impossible to resist La Mission Haut Brion's fantastic richness, silky structure, extraordinary balance and sophisticated/refined "look". La Mission Haut Brion is irresistible even in average vintages and is famous for a legendary long life of its wines.
One bottle, 750 ml, of the 1998 vintage.
