La Chapelle de La Mission-Haut-Brion Description

Neighboring the illustrious Château Haut-Brion , Château La Mission Haut-Brion has been one of Bordeaux's iconic references for centuries. Founded in the 16th century by the Lestonnac family, the property was later administered by the Lazarist priests. Now owned by the Clarence Dillon estate and Prince Robert of Luxembourg, Château La Mission Haut-Brion continues to shine among the world's greatest wines.

Located in the towns of Talence and Pessac, Château La Mission Haut-Brion watches over a vineyard planted on soils of beautiful gravel resting on a subsoil of clay, sand, limestone and faluns (a shell limestone). The vines of Château de La Mission Haut-Brion give birth to great Pessac-Léognan wines .
