Staff Notes:

“The 2024 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, which has more Sémillon in the blend, was reticent on the nose and demanded more coaxing than usual, (reluctantly) offering scents of red apple, lime flower and crushed stone. The palate is more expressive with impressive weight and density. The 2024 is fresh and vibrant with palpable tension, revealing a tingle of lemongrass and stem ginger towards its sustained finish. When I returned to my glass after 20 minutes, the aromatics had burst open and shown their true colours, with hints of chai and popcorn and wonderful mineralité. This might turn out to be one of the best white La Missions in recent years.” 96-98, Neal Martin, Vinous, Apr 2025   

“Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. White flowers, delicate tropical fruit, a hint of mango, mineral, a hint of lime zest. Juicy, elegant and balanced, white tropical fruit, delicate sweetness, fine acidity, secure development and certain ageing potential.” 94, Peter Moser, Falstaff, Apr 2025 

“Based on 59% Semillon and 41% Sauvignon Blanc that had malolactic fermentation blocked and will spend 7 months in barrel, the 2024 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is another juicy, lively, almost racy yet still impressive white from this vintage. Tart lemon, pineapple, honeyed mineral, and minty, gooseberry notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a bright, crisp mouthfeel, terrific overall balance, and a great finish.” 92-94, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025
