Château la Mission Haut-Brion is located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, classified as Crus Classés in the 1953 Graves classification. La Mission Haut-Brion is the sister estate of Château Haut-Brion. The winery belongs to the Graves wine region, in the commune 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. The white Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, has an annual production of 500 to 700 cases.

The 2021 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc has a much more nuanced bouquet than this year’s Haut-Brion Blanc, with scents of Japanese yuzu, crushed rock, apple blossom and a hint of elderflower. The palate is very well balanced, with a refined acidity line — tight and fresh, lively and focused. This wine is tighter and more linear than Haut-Brion, but the precision on the finish is a delight.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2021 toont levendige citrustoetsen van yuzu, verfijnde appelbloesem en vlierbloesem boven een fijn gestampt gesteente-mineraal en een strakke, precieze zuurlijn die de afdronk bijzonder helder maakt. Door die frisse zuurgraad en minerale precisie snijdt de wijn mooi door de rijkdom van gevogelte en romige kazen heen, terwijl de florale en citrusaroma's prachtig harmoniëren met delicate witte vis en schelp- en schaaldieren. Probeer hem bij licht gegrilde of in de pan gebakken witvis, gestoomde of kort gesauteerde schelpdieren, of bij geroosterd kipfilet met een zachte citroen-botersaus of bij jonge, romige kazen.
