Description

France / Bordeaux / Graves / Pessac-Léognan

The history of La Mission Haut-Brion dates back to 1540 when Bordeaux merchant Arnaud de Lestonnac purchased the property. In 1682, the estate was transferred to the Lazarists of Bordeaux. Thus, La Mission Haut-Brion was established under the umbrella of the Catholic Church. Despite many changes in ownership, La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the few wineries with an almost uninterrupted history of excellent wines. The current owner is the Dillon family. Parker writes about the winery: "In my personal collection, I have more bottles of La Mission Haut-Brion than of any other wine. It has long been one of the best wines and one of the most consistent in terms of quality."
