Tasting Notes
The Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2022 is a dazzling expression of precision and power, widely considered one of the finest dry white wines on earth. It opens with intense aromas of white peach, pear, lemongrass, and jasmine, intertwined with hints of brioche, honeysuckle, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is rich yet weightless, displaying a core of ripe orchard fruit and citrus zest, supported by electric acidity and chalky minerality. The finish is endlessly pure and resonant, echoing with saline complexity and vibrant energy.
Vintage Highlights
The 2022 growing season in Bordeaux was marked by record sunshine and drought, yet the vines at La Mission Haut-Brion thrived due to deep gravel-clay soils that preserved moisture. The white varieties, harvested early for optimal freshness, achieved perfect phenolic ripeness, yielding wines of tension, concentration, and grace. Aged in new French oak barrels (approx. 50%) for 12 months, the 2022 Blanc harmonizes the richness of Sémillon with the aromatic brilliance of Sauvignon Blanc.
Why It’s Special
Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is a legendary white Bordeaux, often rivaling and even surpassing its sibling, Haut-Brion Blanc, in intensity and finesse. With tiny annual production (≈ 600 cases), it is rarer than many First Growth reds. The 2022 vintage, already tipped for potential perfection (98–100 RP), continues the estate’s legacy of crafting whites of profound depth and longevity, destined to age gracefully for decades.
