Tasted 7 Times With Consistent Notes One of the greatest 1961s, La Mission-Haut-Brion has been fabulous to drink for the last 5-10 years. Where well-stored, this wine will continue to drink well for 10-20 years. More developed and drinkable than the 1959, it remains a thick, rich, super-aromatic wine with a textbook Graves bouquet of tobacco, barbecued meats, minerals, spices, and sweet red and black fruits. Dense, full-bodied, alcoholic, and super-rich, this soft, opulently-textured wine makes for a fabulous drink.

A truly classic Bordeaux that epitomizes complexity and distinction in a red wine. Well-defined but beautifully integrated aromas and flavors of cedar, earth, tobacco, chocolate and plum make it memorable, while a lively, firm texture keeps it fresh to drink. A fabulous taste experience from start to lingering finish. Drink through 2010.--1961 Bordeaux horizontal. ?

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.
