Château La Mission Haut-Brion 的歷史可追溯至 17 世紀，由傳教士團（Congrégation de la Mission）建立葡萄園，酒莊之名亦由此而來。1983 年，擁有五大名莊 Haut-Brion 的 Clarence Dillon 家族正式收購此莊。自 1997 年 Prince Robert de Luxembourg 加入管理團隊後，酒窖經歷大規模翻新，釀造技術亦全面提升。
酒莊擁有 26.6 公頃的葡萄園，其卓越風土與鄰近的五大名莊 Haut-Brion 極其相似，兩者皆由同一個頂尖技術團隊負責管理與釀造。風格以強勁單寧、非凡長度、結構嚴謹著稱。
儘管在 1855 年評級中未被列入，但 Liv-ex 倫敦國際葡萄酒交易所曾多次將其評為「第六大一級莊」(6th Premier Grand Cru），公認為最具一級莊實力的酒款。
2010 年份被公認為波爾多「力量與結構」的巔峰，被多位酒評家視為 21 世紀初最偉大的 La Mission Haut‑Brion 之一。

2010 年份的 La Mission Haut-Brion 是一款絕佳的葡萄酒。散發西梅乾、黑莓、花朵、鉛筆屑、雪松、黑加侖子和甘草的香氣，層次豐富，濃郁集中，中段優雅富深度，單寧如粉末般柔滑。餘韻悠長而持久，這款醇厚的佳釀憑藉其礦物結構與驚人的新鮮感，仍可陳年 15-30 年。

這真是令人驚嘆。香氣非常獨特，碘、石頭、紅醋栗交織著濕土與蘑菇的氣息。這樣的香氣通常要在瓶陳 10 年左右才會出現，堪稱酒莊的經典香氣。酒體飽滿，口感展現出堅實卻柔順的單寧，結構緊密。濃郁而華美，真是令人嘆為觀止。
Château La Mission Haut‑Brion traces its origins to the 17th century, when the Congregation of the Mission established vineyards that gave the estate its name. In 1983, the Clarence Dillon family, owners of Château Haut‑Brion, acquired the property. Since Prince Robert of Luxembourg joined the management team in 1997, the estate has undergone extensive cellar renovations and a total elevation of its winemaking precision.
The estate spans 26.6 hectares of exceptional terroir, mirroring that of its illustrious neighbor, Haut-Brion. Both properties are managed and crafted by the same elite technical team. La Mission Haut‑Brion is renowned for its powerful tannins, remarkable length, and firm structure.
While it was not included in the original 1855 Classification, the Liv-ex has repeatedly ranked it as the "6th Premier Grand Cru.", as a wine of First Growth caliber.
The 2010 Vintage is celebrated as a pinnacle of "power and structure" in Bordeaux, and is regarded by many critics as one of the greatest La Mission Haut‑Brion wines of the early 21st century.

Tasting Notes:

The 2010 La Mission Haut-Brion is a terrific wine. Evoking aromas of prune, blackberries, flowers, pencil shavings, cedar, cassis and licorice, it’s layered and concentrated with a deep, elegant mid-palate and powdery tannins. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, this sumptuous wine can age for another 15-30 years, thanks to its mineral structure and incredible freshness.

This is crazy. The nose is so unique with the iodine, stones and currant aromas with wet earth and mushroom. Aromas like this don't usually come out until 10 years or so in the bottle. Classic nose for this estate. Full-bodied, with an amazing palate of firm yet polished tannins and a solid palate. So dense and gorgeous. It is really stunning.
