n the heart of Pessac-Léognan, La Mission Haut-Brion stands across from Château Haut-Brion. These two legends share the same terroir and the same winemaking team.
While Haut-Brion often shines with long aging, La Mission is known for its irresistible sensuality in its early years — a quality critics never fail to highlight, with its tender core and exquisite smoothness.
