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.
