Staff Notes:

“Red and black currants, cold fireplace, violets, and a beautiful tobacco and lead pencil quality all emerge from the 2024 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, a medium-bodied Pessac based on 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46.5% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It's pretty and perfumed, with good intensity and a seamless, layered mouthfeel. The tannins are fine and integrated, giving it a graceful, approachable style that still holds to the classic La Mission profile. Compared to the more inward and structured Haut-Brion, this is more open-knit and front end-loaded. It should offer plenty of early appeal yet still have the class to evolve gracefully.” 93-95, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025  

“The 2024 La Mission Haut-Brion has a beautifully defined bouquet with pure, mineral-led black fruit, hints of blueberry and a subtle sea spray influence. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins. Fresh and vibrant, this La Mission feels very cohesive and sophisticated. No, there is not the depth and persistence of a top-drawer vintage, but its noticeable complexity is a cut above.” 93-95, Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2025 

“Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicate notes of cassis and cherries, fine tobacco savouriness, a hint of tobacco and herbs, delicate hint of nougat. Complex, juicy, fine blackberry fruit, fresh acidity, delicate extracted sweetness, mineral and well adhering, already developed, a lively style, has development and certain ageing potential.” 94, Peter Moser, Fallstaff, Apr 2025
