Rezensionen & Bewertungen
99 Robert Parker
The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it emerges from the glass with a first wave of stewed black and red plums, mulberries and black raspberries scents, followed by pronounced notions of warm cassis, clove oil, violets and chocolate box, with hints of cast-iron pan, pencil lead and forest floor coming through after a few minutes. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energy, delivering layers of red and black fruits with earthy and mineral sparks and a texture so satiny you need to remember to look for it, finishing with amazing vibrancy. This is so wonderfully evocative and singular, and yet it feels like its holding something back. It makes for an impressive glass right now, but give it a good 5 years in bottle to allow further nuances to emerge and expect it to seriously reward those who can wait a good 12-15 years, when it should really hit its stride.

Enticing aromas of currant, crushed stone, blueberry, lead pencil, iodine and graphite follow through to a full body with round, chewy tannins that are polished and powerful, yet balanced and beautiful. In the end, the tannins are compact and tight at the finish. But you want to drink it. Try after 2027, when it will open.
94 Vinous
The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is beautiful and expansive from the first taste. Dark cherry, mocha, herbs, licorice, rose petal and mint open effortlessly. All the elements are so well balanced. Although the 2018 is quite easy to appreciate at this stage, it also has terrific energy and more than enough verve to develop positively for several decades.

Hersteller
Château La Mission Haut Brion
Ebenfalls im Besitz der Familie Dillon, ist das Château La Mission Haut-Brion sicherlich der zweitbeste Erzeuger in der Appellation Pessac-Léognan, gleich nach seinem Nachbarn und dem vorzüglichsten Produzenten von Graves, dem Château Haut-Brion. Mit einer Geschichte, die im 16. Jahrhundert beginnt, ist La Mission Haut-Brion heute zu Recht ein würdiger Konkurrent seines Schwester-Châteaus, nicht nur, was ausgewählte Jahrgänge angeht, sondern auch dank der Höherstufung auf einen vergleichbaren Erstes-Gewächs-Rang im Jahr 2009. Während der La Tour Haut-Brion der Cru Classés von Pessac-Léognan lange Zeit der Zweitwein von La Mission war, stellt er heute ein eigenständiges Markeneigentum dar, allerdings immer noch unter Management der Familie Dillon. Das 29 Hektar große Anwesen ist vorwiegend der Produktion seiner erstklassigen Rotweine vorbehalten. Aushängeschild ist der Wein La Mission Haut-Brion, der beispielhaft den Stil des Hauses verkörpert – reich, im Fass fermentiert, dicht und kraftvoll. Das Château produziert auch La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion, einen Zweitwein, der reifer, aber dennoch belebend ist.
