{"product_id":"la-mission-haut-brion-1982","title":"La Mission Haut Brion 1982","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Mission Haut-Brion 1982 is a remarkable Bordeaux from one of the region’s most revered estates, combining immense power with extraordinary depth and longevity. Often spoken of in the same breath as the greatest wines of the vintage, it stands out for its concentration, classic Graves character, and the kind of cellar-worthy structure that has made it a benchmark for serious collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a deep plum-garnet colour with remarkable density and little sign of ageing at the rim. The bouquet is profoundly expressive, unfolding with black fruits, truffle, scorched earth, licorice, graphite and damp soil, especially after extended aeration.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is full-bodied and intensely layered, with formidable tannins, broad structure and a long, resonant finish. Despite its age, it remains impressively youthful and still has the backbone for further cellaring, promising continued development over many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLa Mission Haut-Brion comes from gravelly Bordeaux terroir in the Graves, where well-drained soils and a temperate maritime climate help produce wines of both power and finesse. The estate’s grapes are hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours to preserve freshness and avoid oxidation, followed by strict selection in both vineyard and cellar before vinification. The wine is crafted with meticulous attention to extraction and balance, resulting in a concentrated, age-worthy style that reflects the estate’s reputation for precision and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine is an excellent match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, game, duck breast, or dishes with truffle, wild mushroom, or earthy sauce components. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and decanting is strongly recommended—ideally well in advance—to allow the aromatics and complexity to fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau La Mission Haut-Brion is one of Bordeaux’s historic great estates, with roots stretching back to the 16th century. Its modern chapter began in 1919 under the Woltner family and continued after the 1983 acquisition by Clarence Dillon, owner of neighbouring Château Haut-Brion, who invested heavily in replanting and rebuilding the cellars. Recognised in the Liv-Ex reclassification as a Premier Cru estate, La Mission Haut-Brion is widely regarded as one of the most consistent and accomplished names in fine Bordeaux, with a long record of critical acclaim and exceptional vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Mission","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122470822130,"sku":"FW-757","price":2275.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/2_2_228.png?v=1777476194","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/la-mission-haut-brion-1982","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
