It is interesting to note that many 1959s, much like the 1982s, were maligned for lacking both acidity and aging potential. How does one explain the fact that many 1959s are less evolved, as well as richer, fresher, and more complete than many 1961s? For example, as great as the 1961 La Mission is, the 1959 is a richer, deeper-colored, more concentrated and powerful wine. It needs at least 3-5 more years of cellaring to reach its plateau of maturity. Spicy and super-concentrated, with a dense, plummy/purple color, this young, broodingly backward, formidably-endowed wine should be at its best before the end of the century and drink well for the first 20-25 years of the next millennium.

Rich and meaty, like a piece of rare filet mignon. Deep red-brick in color, with well-aged game and meat flavors; full-bodied, with superrich, velvety, gamy fruit flavors.--La Mission-Haut-Brion vertical. ?JS

Producteur
Château La Mission Haut Brion
Appartenant, lui aussi à la famille Dillon, il ne fait aucun doute que le Château La Mission Haut-Brion se classe au deuxième rang des meilleurs producteurs de l’appellation Pessac-Léognan, seul son voisin et producteur éminent des Graves – le Château Haut-Brion – pouvant revendiquer la première place. Forte d’une histoire qui remonte au début du 16ème siècle, la Mission Haut-Brion rivalise à juste titre avec son alter ego. La comparaison ne porte pas uniquement sur les meilleurs millésimes, le domaine ayant été qualifié de premier cru potentiel en 2009. La Tour Haut-Brion, cru classé de Pessac-Léognan, faisait figure auparavant de second vin de La Mission. Il s’agit aujourd’hui d’une marque indépendante, mais toujours gérée par la famille Dillon. La propriété, qui s’étend sur 29 hectares, est vouée essentiellement à la production de ses excellents vins rouges. La Mission Haut-Brion constitue le fleuron du domaine, incarnant le style maison, c’est-à-dire un vin riche, dense, puissant et fermenté en barrique. Le château élabore également La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, un second vin plus mûr mais qui reste séduisant.
