Built around Cabernet Franc, it shows the depth and structure collectors look for in a great Left Bank wine, while its legendary pedigree and history place it firmly among Bordeaux’s most sought-after names.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, the wine is still densely colored, showing a deep opaque purple core that hints at its concentration and vitality. The bouquet is layered and intensely expressive, with aromas of blueberries, black currants, graphite, asphalt, and subtle oak in the background.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied, powerful, and supremely concentrated, yet held together by fresh acidity and firm, round tannins. Despite its age, it remains strikingly youthful and structured, with the sort of balance that suggests many more years of graceful development ahead. Anticipated maturity is exceptionally long, with the 2000 vintage capable of evolving for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau La Mission Haut-Brion sits on a historic 29-hectare estate in Bordeaux, with vineyards planted on gravelly soils that are well suited to the region’s noble red varieties. Harvesting is done by hand in the cool hours before dawn to preserve freshness and limit oxidation, followed by rigorous selection in both vineyard and cellar before pressing and vinification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine best served with richly flavored dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, game, truffle-based preparations, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended, especially if opening now, to allow the wine to fully reveal its complexity and aromatic depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteau La Mission Haut-Brion traces its roots back to the 16th century and entered its modern era in 1919 under the Woltners family. In 1983 it was acquired by Clarence Dillon, owner of neighboring Château Haut-Brion, who later replanted much of the vineyard and built a new cellar completed in 1987, with further renovations in 2007. The estate’s reputation is among the strongest in Bordeaux, and in Liv-ex’s reclassification it was recognized as a Premier Cru, confirming its status as one of the region’s great wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Mission","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122411380978,"sku":"FW-271","price":1338.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/4810\/5202\/files\/2_2_212.png?v=1777475915","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.fi\/products\/la-mission-haut-brion-2000","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
