FEATURES
The 2014 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Blanc is a testament to an extraordinary Indian summer that rescued the vintage. Despite challenging summer conditions, beautiful September weather with dry, sunny days and cool nights allowed the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness. This white Bordeaux, a Sémillon-dominated blend (72% Sémillon, 28% Sauvignon Blanc), is hailed as sublime, representing the pinnacle of dry white wine.
Its bouquet exudes considerable finesse and elegance, with lovely hints of ripe fruit and subtle vanilla. Expect abundant aromas of lemon, pineapple, and green papaya, complemented by notes of stones and salt block. On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and layered with a creamy mouthfeel, showcasing both power and agility. The wine is very round, with impressive depth, volume, and concentration, beautifully balanced by fine acidity, leading to a fresh and hugely complex aftertaste. Nuances of Meyer lemons, green herbs, citrus, wood smoke, and mint add to its intricate profile.
🍴 Food Pairing: This exceptional white wine pairs exquisitely with meaty and oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, swordfish, monkfish, and tuna.
🥂 Fit for Event: An outstanding choice for significant celebrations, high-end gastronomic experiences, or as the centerpiece of a sophisticated wine tasting, this wine promises an unforgettable experience.
