About the Product
- Region or Appellation
- Producer Notes
- Sought-after by wine lovers all over the world, Cha^teau La Mission Haut-Brion white wine is extremely rare (500 to 600 cases). Containing an average 85% Se´millon and 14% Sauvignon Blanc with a dash of Muscadelle, this voluptuous wine is rich and concentrated with a wonderfully long finish. Previously known as Cha^teau Laville Haut-Brion, Cha^teau La Mission Haut-Brion is a wine for the initiated. It is unique: when young, it has the characteristics of a great Gewurztraminer. Over time, it takes on the amber colour of a great Sauternes wine. This dry white wine expresses all the attributes of a Graves sweet wine, specific to the Se´millon grown on these famous terroirs. Beginning with the 2009 vintage, the familiar Cha^teau Laville Haut-Brion label will no longer be used, to be replaced by one bearing the name Cha^teau La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, accentuated in gold as Fre´de´ric Woltner had done when creating its very first label in 1927.

The 2012 vintage was uneven from bud break, which was disturbed by a cool, wet month of April, to ve´raison (color change), which took place over a long period. Fortunately, the months of July and August 2012 were ideal: warm and dry. This fine summer weather enabled us to do everything possible in the vineyard in order to make up for the poor spring weather. For two months, our team worked meticulously to make ripening as homogeneous as possible, and removed any green grapes at ve´raison.The harvest for both red and white wines began under sunny skies.2012 is a truly fine vintage for early-ripening terroirs such as ours.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
The complex floral and white fruit bouquet features hints of citrus, peach, almond, and acacia. The wine starts off quite smooth and full-bodied on the palate with a freshness that carries the flavour through to a fine long aftertaste. However, this freshness is not overwhelming because the wine is also rich and powerful. This is unquestionably a great year for dry white wines.

When to drink: 2014 to 2045
2012 Vintage
Tasted: May 2015
Crushed stone, grapefruit and citrus lead to a concentrated, full bodied, expressive, fresh, citrus filled wine with volume, length concentration and complexity.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2015
Helles Gelbgrün, feine frische Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Birne und Limette, gelbe Ringlotte. Mittlere Komplexität, kraftvolle Textur, zarte gelbe Tropenfrucht, dezente nussige Aromen im Abgang, würzig und anhaltend, zart grasiger Touch im Nachhall.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2013
Still young and raw but with an excellent purity, powerful and nicely austere with elegant fruit and a very long lingering finish.
2012 Vintage
When to drink: 2016 to 2024
Nicht eines der grössten Jahre für den raren und teuren ehemaligen Laville, aber eines der guten: Zurückhaltend blumig in der Aromatik, zeigt Frische, Dichte und Fülle in einer gut abgesteckten, vielleicht nicht überwältigenden, aber sehr harmonischen Dimension, wirkt in sich geschlossen und stimmig und ausgezeichnet gemacht. Wird auch schon jung viel Freude machen.
