A Pessac-Léognan White Wine Combining Power and Precision
The Estate
An immediate neighbor of the prestigious Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion has been an emblematic figure of the Bordeaux vineyard for several centuries. Founded in the 16th century by the de Lestonnac family, the estate was then entrusted to the Congregation of the Lazarist Fathers. Today integrated into the Domaine Clarence Dillon, under the impetus of Prince Robert of Luxembourg, it remains one of the essential references among the great growths of Bordeaux.
The Vineyard
The vines of Château La Mission Haut-Brion extend over the communes of Talence and Pessac, on a terroir of deep gravel soils resting on a subsoil composed of clay, sand, limestone and faluns, a shelly limestone rock. This exceptional terroir allows for the production of Pessac-Léognan wines of great complexity and remarkable aging potential.
The Vintage
The year 2024 was marked by a cool and humid climate, leading to an early budburst followed by slowed vine growth. Disease pressure was high, requiring constant vigilance in the vineyards. Despite a late and uneven flowering, July provided good vegetative development thanks to more favorable conditions. Harvest began in early September in very good sanitary condition, with expressive white grapes and concentrated reds. The precise work of the teams made it possible to select berries of great quality, heralding a promising vintage.
Winemaking and Aging
Aging is carried out in barrels, 40 % of which are new.
Blend
Sémillon (59 %) and Sauvignon Blanc (41 %).
