Description

Characteristics and tasting advice for Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2001

Tasting

Color
Dense and deep purple color.

Nose
Opening on subtle woody notes, the nose reveals notes of licorice and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry).

Palate
Harmonious, combining softness and firmness, the palate reveals a fine vanilla and a beautiful complexity thanks to its ripe tannins. The finish is marked by notes of truffle, licorice and tobacco.

Food and wine pairings

This wine perfectly accompanies Wellington beef, red meats, poultry, game and cheeses.

The expression and delicacy of a great Pessac-Léognan wine

The property

Neighbor of the illustrious Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the iconic references of Bordeaux, and has been for centuries. Founded in the 16th century by the Lestonnac family, the property was then administered by the Lazarist priests. Now belonging to the Clarence Dillon estate and Prince Robert of Luxembourg, Château La Mission Haut-Brion continues to shine among the greatest wines in the world.

The vineyard

Located in the municipalities of Talence and Pessac, Château La Mission Haut-Brion overlooks a vineyard planted on beautiful gravel soils resting on a subsoil of clay, sand, limestone and faluns (a shell limestone). The vines of Château de La Mission Haut-Brion give birth to great Pessac-Léognan wines.

The vintage

The 2001 vintage presents similar conditions to 2000. July and August were very hot with 22 days exceeding 30°C. Only 2 days of heavy rain occurred between July 20 and September 20. The harvest, carried out from September 17 to October 6, benefited from a mild climate, generally warm and dry, despite two days of heavy weather on September 22 and October 3.

Vinification and aging

Aging in oak barrels, 75% of which are new.

Blend

Merlot (62%).
Cabernet sauvignon (35%)
Cabernet franc (3%).
