Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Quintessential Graves notes of smoked tobacco, scorched earth, truffle, and lead pencil shavings backed by an incredible core of darker fruits all define the 2010 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, a ripe, broad, voluptuous beauty that continues to drink amazingly well. This powerful, full-bodied, deep, layered wine builds with time in the glass, has sensational purity, ripe, polished tannins, and a heavenly finish. It might ultimately match the 1982, and despite the more structured style of the vintage, it's ripe, sexy, and impossible to resist. Drink bottles over the coming 50 years. Drink 2026-2076.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château La Mission Haut-Brion, the illustrious neighbor of Haut-Brion in Pessac-Léognan, possesses a history as rich as its terroir. This *cru classé*, whose origins date back to the 16th century, has experienced many lives, from religious congregations to the Woltner family, before being acquired by the Dillon family. Today, Prince Robert of Luxembourg oversees this exceptional estate, perpetuating a tradition of excellence. The red wines of Château La Mission Haut-Brion express the elegance of the gravel terroir of the Pessac-Léognan appellation with refinement. Ample and complex, they captivate with their depth and their ability to age over the years. La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion, the estate’s second wine, offers a more immediate approach to the property's style without sacrificing any quality. The former Château La Tour Haut-Brion, now integrated into this second wine, bears witness to the site's long history. Legend has it that the Lazarist monks, the original owners, chose this privileged location for its proximity to a water source with beneficial properties. Among the most sought-after vintages are Château La Mission Haut-Brion, La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion, and Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc—essential benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
