2001 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion – Refined Depth from Pessac-Leognan
The 2001 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion reflects the estate’s distinctive balance of intensity and composure. Situated across the road from Haut-Brion on gravelly soils layered with clay and sand, La Mission is known for producing wines of structure and aromatic complexity. The 2001 vintage offers a classical profile shaped by careful vineyard management and patient aging.
Tasting Notes
The bouquet unfolds with aromas of blackcurrant, smoked earth, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is poised and structured, delivering mature dark fruit layered with mineral undertones and hints of tobacco. Fine tannins and steady acidity support a long, measured finish that reveals both depth and restraint.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and a small proportion of Cabernet Franc. Fermentation is conducted parcel by parcel before aging in French oak barrels to integrate texture and complexity. The 2001 growing season provided favorable conditions that allowed for even ripening and balanced fruit expression.
