Chateau La Mission Haut Brion and the Bordeaux first growth Chateau Haut-Brion both belong to the Dillon family, and they are only a street apart.Since the Jesuit priests took over the vineyard in 1682, the estate began to gain fame, and the estate's name also originated from this.The priests toiled diligently in the vineyard and poured a lot of effort into it, and within less than a century, it had become one of the top wineries in the region.La Mission Haut Brion has a rich complexity, a deep purple color, and possesses sufficient tannins, strength, and abundant fruitiness.La Mission-Haut-Brion is generous, stable, and can produce good wine in both good and bad years.
