Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

As to the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is pure perfection, and it's as seamless, pure, and layered as they come, while still bringing incredible intensity and richness. Smoky red and black currants, leafy tobacco, scorched earth, as well as a hint of violets, all define this incredible wine, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, velvety sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a gorgeous finish. I love this sexy, opulent, straight-up heavenly wine today, yet it can be drunk with incredible pleasure any time over the coming 50+ years. Reminding me of the 2009 and an undeniable candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2022 hit a solid 14% alcohol with a lofty pH of 3.95.

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.
