The 2011 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is an elegant and structured Bordeaux from a challenging but highly nuanced vintage. Cooler conditions and a long, uneven growing season favored finesse, freshness, and aromatic complexity over sheer power, allowing the estate's exceptional terroir to shine. With time in bottle, this vintage is developing into a sophisticated expression of La Mission Haut-Brion, combining refined fruit, mineral depth, and classic Graves character.
Producer Information
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is an estate in the Pessac-Léognan appellation in the northern Graves, a few miles southwest of Bordeaux's city center. Its near-neighbor and sister estate Château Haut-Brion was the only estate from the region featured in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, but La Mission Haut-Brion (rated a Graves Grand Cru in the 1959 rankings) is often judged and priced as the equal of Haut-Brion and the other first growths. The wine is particularly known for its fruit intensity, rounded, generous texture and silky tannins, and has received multiple 100-point ratings from American critic Robert Parker. The vineyard shares the same gravelly terrain as Haut-Brion (which sits just over the road), with small quartz stones over a clay-sand subsoil. Around 27 hectares (66 acres) are planted to red grapes, comprising 47 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 43 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Franc. A little more than three hectares (seven acres) are planted to Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Like Haut-Brion, its vineyards are now entirely surrounded by the houses of Bordeaux's southwestern suburbs – a railway line even bisects the property.
