2015 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Pessac-Leognan

Château La Mission Haut-Brion traces its roots back to the 16th century, when Jean de Pontac, a personality who bought and gave birth to several famous châteaux in Bordeaux. The modern era began for the chateau in 1919 when the American family, the Woltners, bought the chateau. They remained owners until 1983, when they sold the chateau to Clarence Dillon, the owner of the neighboring chateau - the iconic Château Haut-Brion. Shortly after the purchase, Clarence replanted large parts of the vineyard. He then built a new wine cellar which was completed in 1987, with more recent renovations completed in 2007. The chateau extends over 30.7 hectares, with 3.7 hectares reserved for white wine production. The wine was historically called Laville Haut Brion, but changed its name with the legendary 2009 vintage. The grapes are hand-harvested in the pre-dawn hours of the night, as the cool temperatures help to retain the acidity in the grapes and minimize the risk of oxidation. The grapes undergo a merciless selection in the field and cellar before being pressed. The wine has harvested 100P countless times and is a collector's item for the greatest Bordeaux lovers, with decades of aging potential. Along with Haut-Brion Blanc, this wine represents the finest and rarest white wine in all of Bordeaux - perhaps even the world. Translated using AI.
