2020 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Tasting Notes
La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 72% sauvignon and 28% semillon. It is perfumed with floral, citrus and stone aromas, as well as hints of grapefruit. Extremely long and fine-grained. The spicy, medium to full-bodied palate is charged with energy and delivers vibrant citrus and tropical fruit layers with a satiny texture and fantastic length. Insanely beautiful.

The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc opens in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, lemongrass, crisp stone fruits and wet stones framed by a touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, layered and racy, with chalky structure and a mouthwatering finish, it was bottled under Diam 30.

Very perfumed with floral, citrus and stone aromas, as well as hints of grapefruit. It’s full-bodied and seamless in texture. Extremely long and fine-grained. 72% sauvignon and 28% semillon. Normally 50/50.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 Haut-Brion Blanc has a very classy bouquet, not quite as expressive as the La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, yet very detailed and mineral-driven, with hints of almond and a light hazelnut/fumé scents that loiter off-stage. The palate is very well balanced with a smooth texture, and wonderful depth. It exhibits a little more concentration than the La Mission with a sensual, grapefruit and lemon verbena finish tinged with saffron. Superb, but it deserves time in bottle.

From: 2020 Bordeaux En Primeur: Almost Back to Normal (Jun 2021)
The 2020 Haut-Brion Blanc is a wine of extraordinary precision and nuance. White flowers, mint, chalk, white pepper and citrus peel soar out of the glass. Weightless and nuanced, Haut-Brion Blanc is so striking. I especially admire its delineation and cut.

From: Vingt-Vingt Vins: Bordeaux 2020 (May 2021)
The 2020 Haut-Brion Blanc, which was picked August 20–27, has a tightly wound bouquet that requires 30–40 minutes to open, revealing well-defined aromas of green apples and Conference pear, light minty scents and hints of persimmon. The palate is taut and fresh with a little more depth than the La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc this year, though the major difference is that I find more mineralité and tension on the finish, hence my higher score. Excellent.
