Château La Mission Haut-Brion

La Mission-Haut-Brion is now good friends with its neighbour Château Haut-Brion – after years of being rivals they are now owned by the same people – but it still cannot avoid being continuously compared with its slightly more illustrious brother. In its greatest vintages it does rival and occasionally surpass Haut-Brion, having greater concentration and power, with an almost unmatched ability to improve over time. The white, Château Laville-Haut-Brion, is listed separately.
