" Wonderfully perfumed with violets and raspberries that follow through to a medium body. Full-bodied with fully integrated tannins that are tight and balanced. You almost can't "see" the tannins, but you feel them. Best after 2025, but already so pretty." (James Suckling 2022) - Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Point Relais delivery method).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 5*Stars (Outstanding producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the wine:
Not very colorful, a little too supple, but fleshy and very pleasant. Still, one expects more from a second mission wine, especially at this price. Clarence is closer to the grand style of Dillon vineyards.
About the domain :
Pending new facilities, as with its great twin Haut-Brion, Mission continues to delight us with its velvety, complex, great wine, a great expression of Merlot on deep gravel (often more than 50% of the blend) and an exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon that we dream of tasting pure one day! Our Semillon-dominant white wines are still unrivalled in Bordeaux for their aromatic nobility and complexity.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Separated from Château Haut-Brion just by the RN 250 and united with it since 1983 as part of the Clarence Dillon estates, this cru is distinguished by its history. This is linked to the powerful de Lestonnac family until 1682, then, until the Revolution, to the Lazarist fathers of Saint-Vincent, who recognized the remarkable qualities of its gravelly terroir, now planted with 29 ha of vines, including 3.6 ha of white.

About the domain :
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 3*Stars (They represent the excellence of the French vineyard. The best terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical moment)
About the domain :
The château's gravelly terroir is slightly richer than that of Haut-Brion, which faces it. If we want to define the specificity of this famous cru on the basis of the vintages tasted, we'd have to say that it bears a striking resemblance to Château Haut-Brion. It possesses the same supple, mellow qualities (which in no way prevent long, glorious bottle ageing), as well as the same highly original smoky bouquet. On the palate, however, it's quite different, softer, deeper and more charming, because it's easier to understand in its early years. With age, La Mission yields to Haut-Brion in stylistic complexity and sheer finesse, but surpasses its neighbor in textural voluptuousness. As you can see, these two cousins, vinified by the same team and with the same exacting standards, are perfect reflections of their own terroirs and grape varieties.

Wine rated (guide 2021) 92/100
About the wine:
Subtle, floral character, with hints of peony, black pepper and cassis. Tight, well-integrated tannins in phase with the freshness of the structure. Fruity, persistent finish. A serious wine worth waiting for. 2024-2037
