Description

France / Bordeaux / Graves / Pessac-Léognan

The history of La Mission Haut-Brion dates back to 1540, when Bordeaux merchant Arnaud de Lestonnac bought the property. In 1682, the inheritance was transferred to the Lazarists of Bordeaux. Thus, La Mission Haut-Brion was created under the umbrella of the Catholic Church. Despite many changes of ownership, La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the few wineries with an almost unbroken history of excellent wines. The current owner is the Dillon family. Parker writes of 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 finest wines and one of the most consistent in terms of quality. "
