Bordeaux Majesty from Haut-Brion and La Mission

Domaine Clarence Dillon is fortunate to own not only one Bordeaux First Growth, Château Haut-Brion, but also a contender to be a First Growth – Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Although across the road from one another, the differences between the two are quite pronounced, with Haut-Brion showing effortless complexity and textural finesse, while La Mission tends to be more brooding, powerful and dense.

Among the current selection, Haut-Brion is represented by a remarkable range of vintages, from the fully mature 1985 and the monumental 1989 to more recent standouts such as 2015, 2019, and 2020. La Mission Haut-Brion is offered in both red and white, with the 2014 showing beautifully now and the 2020 promising decades of evolution.

Finally, don't miss the white wine produced from both properties, Clarté – this is a wonderfully vibrant, aromatic, complex wine, blended from zesty Semillon and fruity Sauvignon Blanc.
