Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2018 is a prestigious red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation in the renowned Graves sub-region of Bordeaux, France. This wine is crafted mainly from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a touch of Cabernet Franc, typical of Bordeaux blends. The 2018 vintage is celebrated for its concentration and structure, characterised by long, sunny days and optimal ripening conditions. The vinification process at Château La Mission Haut-Brion pays meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegant.
Pessac-Léognan, situated in the southwestern part of the Bordeaux wine region, is noted for its gravely, well-draining soils, ideal for growing quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The region enjoys a temperate maritime climate with mild winters and warm summers, providing excellent conditions for viticulture. Pessac-Léognan has a rich history of wine production, dating back centuries, and remains one of the most esteemed areas for both red and white Bordeaux wines.
This wine's full-bodied and rich profile pairs excellently with a variety of hearty dishes. For classic French dining, consider serving it alongside beef Wellington, duck confit, or a rack of lamb. The wine's deep flavours also complement game meats like venison or wild boar. To explore regional pairings, try it with entrecôte à la Bordelaise, a local Bordeaux dish featuring a cut of steak accompanied by a sauce made with Bordeaux wine, bone marrow, butter, shallots, and herbs.
For the best tasting experience, Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2018 should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting the wine for an hour before serving will allow its complex aromas to open up fully, revealing layers of dark fruit, earthy notes, and a hint of oak, ensuring an unforgettable tasting journey.
