Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc – Pessac-Léognan 2017 (75 cl) is one of Bordeaux's most exclusive and sought-after white wines from Château La Mission Haut-Brion.

The wine is made from a classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon and appears both powerful and refined. The nose offers complex aromas of citrus, white peaches, and ripe apples, combined with notes of smoke, honey, toasted nuts, and an elegant oak influence.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated with a creamy texture, beautiful structure, and vibrant acidity that creates balance and enhances the wine's depth. The long finish is characterized by minerality and subtle smoky nuances, which are typical of the region.

The 2017 vintage displays both freshness and complexity and has great aging potential, where it will develop even more nuances over time.

In short, it is a deep and complex white Bordeaux where power, elegance, and terroir unite in a rare harmony.

97 /100

A blend of 23.8% Sauvignon Blanc and 76.2% Sémillon, the 2017 Blanc takes its time uncoiling from its tightly wound state, slowly revealing nuances of lemon tart, lime blossoms, green mango and jasmine with touches of cedar chest and sea spray. Medium-bodied, the palate has a beautifully expressed, quiet intensity, featuring loads of subtle mineral and citrus layers, finishing long and chalky. Beautiful. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Robert Parker wine advocate

? /100

Candied lemon with sliced apples, pears and stones with some lemon-grass and bay-leaf notes. Full-bodied, creamy and textured with a tight and focused palate that goes on for minutes. Shows great length and beauty. Very tight. Needs at least five years to open. Better after 2025.

James Suckling

94 /100

Very light yellow green colour, silver reflections. Delicate white tropical fruit, grapefruit zest, with fresh meadow herbs in the background, a hint of lime, some biscuit. Juicy, pleasant complexity, fresh papaya, lively acidity, lingers well, harmonious, mineral-salty finish, promising material.

Falstaff

98 /100

Luscious, juicy, finessed, a white wine that feels expertly handled, well judged with taut acidities and fresh citrus, chamomile and steel character, but mouthwatering enough for you to sink into and share. Jean-Philippe Delmas director. 40% new oak for ageing.

Hvid Bordeaux blend

White Bordeaux Blend er en sammensætning af Bordeaux' tre klassiske hvidvinsdruer: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc og Muscadelle. I denne blend bidrager Sauvignon Blanc med sine karakteristiske græsagtige aromaer og friskhed, mens Sémillon tilføjer kompleksitet, fylde samt honningagtige noter. Muscadelle, den mindst kendte af de tre, bidrager med drueagtige aromaer og aromatisk løft.

En undervurderet klassiker

Den klassiske White Bordeaux Blend er en af verdens mest oversete hvidvinskategorier. Indtil 1960'erne var vingårdene i Bordeaux domineret af hvidvinsdruer, men ændringer i forbrugerpræferencer samt forbedringer i rødvinsproduktion betød, at hvid Bordeaux blev skubbet i baggrunden. Selv i dag forbliver hvid Bordeaux stærkt overskygget af sin røde pendant.

Blendets komposition

Ifølge tradition og appellationslovgivning skal en klassisk hvid Bordeaux-vin indeholde mindst 25% Sauvignon Blanc for at sikre aromatisk friskhed og balance.

Sammensætningen varierer efter ønsket stil:

Lettere, aromatiske vine: Højere andel af Muscadelle
Rigere, kælderegnede vine: Højere andel af Sémillon
Mange hvide Bordeaux-vine er simpelthen en blend af Sémillon og Sauvignon Blanc uden Muscadelle.

Karakteristika

White Bordeaux Blend spænder fra blege, guldgrønne vine med citrus, græs og hø til dybere gyldne vine med honning, orangemarmelade, tørrede abrikoser og nødder. Aromaerne udvikler sig med alder og viser vinenes kompleksitet og lagringspotentiale.
