Owned by the French company Domaine Clarence Dillon, Château La Mission Haut-Brion can trace its history back to the 16th century. The prestigious estate is situated within the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a few miles southwest of Bordeaux`s city centre. The 1998 vintage is packed with aromas of smoke, cigar box, tobacco leaves and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with mouth-filling layers of fruit that only leave you after a long finish.
