Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Just across the road from Haut-Brion, the Dillon family bought the property in 1983. It takes its name from the community of Lazareth monks that lived here until the French revolution, building a chapel in 1698 that gives the name to the second wine.
Making white wine since 1927, known as Laville Haut-Brion until 2009, now it is simply Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc. Entering into the cloisters and ‘le grand chais’ built in 2007 still feels like a religious experience.

Production of white is so small, just 4 ha out of 29 as of the 2009 vintage, Haut Brion and La Mission produce one second white wine between them, La Clarté de Haut Brion.
The same dedicated team of Haut-Brion next door tends the vines and makes the wine.
