WINEMAKER NOTES
2006 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion – Structured Elegance from Pessac-Leognan
The 2006 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion delivers a classical and composed interpretation of this storied Pessac-Leognan estate. Situated on deep gravel soils adjacent to Chateau Haut-Brion, La Mission is known for producing wines of density and aromatic complexity. The 2006 vintage reflects precision and balance, emphasizing structure over overt power.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals notes of blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, cedar, and graphite. On the palate, the wine is firm and focused, offering dark fruit layered with mineral tones and subtle spice. Fine tannins provide backbone, while fresh acidity carries through to a long, refined finish marked by savory and smoky nuances.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting portions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Fermentation is conducted in traditional vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels to integrate structure and aromatic depth. The 2006 growing season featured warm summer conditions and a measured harvest, resulting in fruit of clarity and concentration.
Investment & Collectibility
La Mission Haut-Brion remains one of the most respected estates in Pessac-Leognan, consistently sought by collectors worldwide. The 2006 vintage has developed steadily in bottle and offers long-term cellaring potential for those focused on mature Left Bank Bordeaux.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
The 2006 Bordeaux vintage favored estates with top vineyard sites and disciplined vineyard management. At La Mission, these conditions translated into a wine defined by structure, freshness, and measured intensity.
