The estate, founded in the 17th century, is also located in the commune of Pessac, southwest of Bordeaux, and comprises approximately 29 hectares of prime vineyards.

The white wines of La Mission Haut-Brion, though produced in smaller quantities, are equally remarkable. Made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, they are characterized by their freshness, vivacity, and delicate citrus aromatics, which perfectly complement their elegant structure.
The history of Château La Mission Haut-Brion reflects the tradition and heritage of Bordeaux wines. Over the centuries, the estate has experienced numerous changes in ownership, but its commitment to quality and excellence has always remained unchanged.
