The 2020 Le Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 48.6% Merlot, 43.2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.2% Cabernet Franc. This Mission Haut Brion belongs to one of the most beautiful vintages ever and is a worthy successor to the 2016 and 2019 vintages and has been given a score of 100/100 points by Suckling and Parker.
The wine has incredible precision with a medium to full bodied palate with supple and soft tannins and great acidity. It is a wine with incredible focus and definition. The wine is deep garnet purple in color and unfolds in the glass with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, dark chocolate, violets, tobacco leaf, forest floor and a touch of bergamot.
Neal Martin of the Wine Advocate (Parker) writes about the 2020: "The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion is a brilliant effort that exhibits a level of balance and integration that are impressive in such a powerful young Bordeaux"

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2020 Château La Mission Haut‑Brion toont een geconcentreerd smaakpalet van zwarte bessen en pruimen met donkere chocolade, viooltjes, tabak, bosbodem en een subtiele rokerigheid, ondersteund door fijngepoederde tannines en frisse zuurgraad die de volle body elegant in balans houden. Dankzij die stevige maar verfijnde tannines en de frisse zuurte deert hij vet en umami niet: hij snijdt door geroosterd en gegrild rundvlees, versterkt kruidig lamsvlees en complementeert stevige wildgerechten en rijke stoofschotels; ook gerijpte kazen vormen een perfecte tegenhanger. Kies voor bereidingswijzen die concentratie en umami verdiepen, zoals langzaam gestoofd of geconfijt vlees, kruidige kruimlagen en kort krachtige grill of schroeien gevolgd door een herbebruik zoals rozemarijn of een peperkorensaus, zodat de wijn en het gerecht samen tot hun recht komen. |

The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion is a brilliant effort that exhibits a level of balance and integration that are impressive in such a powerful young Bordeaux. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with burning embers, pencil shavings, violets and smoked black tea, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered, elegantly muscular profile, its brooding core of fruit framed by a generous endowment of powdery tannin that tempers the ripeness of the vintage. Checking in at 14.7% alcohol, it's nonetheless more classically styled than the more flamboyant 2019 vintage or even the slowly maturing 2010 which I re-tasted alongside for context.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion has a detailed bouquet with a mixture of red and black fruit, black olive, terracotta and a light wet clayey scent (I sometimes think of a potter's wheel.) It gains complexity in the glass and becomes increasingly refined. The palate is beautifully balanced and caters for the 14.7% alcohol with ease. Very fine tannins, perfectly matched with the acidity, beguiling in terms of its cohesive and velvety smooth finish that lingers long in the mouth. The greatest La Missions are the effortless ones and the 2020 is just that. Beautiful.

Château la Mission Haut-Brion is located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, ranked among the Crus Classés in the 1953 Graves classification. La Mission Haut-Brion is the sister company of Château Haut-Brion. The winery belongs to the wine region of Graves, in the municipality of Talence with an additional estate in Pessac. The winery also produces a second wine from younger vines, La Chapelle de la Mission, since the 1991 vintage, and the dry white wine Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc since the merger of Château Laville Haut-Brion in 2010.
The vineyards extend over 21 hectares between Pessac and Léognan, with a distribution of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The estate produces an average of between 6,000 and 7,000 cases of its grand vin La Mission Haut-Brion each year. For the second wine La Chapelle de la Mission, an average of 4,000 cases are produced. The white Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc has an annual production of 500 to 700 cases.
