Château la Mission Haut-Brion is on uniquely stony soil in the Pessac-Léognan appellation close to the city of Bordeaux. It is a Cru Classé in the Graves Classification of 1953. The 22.5 hectare red wine vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (46%), Merlot (44%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The chateau wine is vinified in large (180hl) temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and aged in 100% new French oak for an average of 22 months. Annual production is 6000-7000 dozen. The famous white wine of the chateau comes from 3.5 ha planted to Semillon (62%) and Sauvignon Blanc (38%). Overall planting density is 10,000 vines per hectare (red) and 8000 vines per hectare (white). Since 1983, under the ownership of Domaine Clarence Dillon (which also owns the neighbouring Chateau Haut Brion), the entire estate has been renovated vineyards, winemaking facilities and the chateau itself. The property got its name in the 1600s when it was owned by the Catholic Church.

Château Pape Clément is one of Bordeaux’s oldest and most distinguished estates, established in the 13th century and named for Pope Clement V. Based in Pessac and overseen by Bernard Magrez, the vineyard produces Grand Cru Classé red wines from carefully tended vines averaging 30 years of age, on gravel-rich soils that encourage depth and complexity. The blend, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, is harvested meticulously by hand for maximum purity. Vinification is carried out parcel by parcel, with fruit fermented in wooden vats then matured in French oak barriques for up to 20 months under the guidance of renowned oenologist Michel Rolland. The result is a wine of striking presence, offering aromas of dark plum, blackcurrant, tobacco, and subtle smoke, while the palate delivers richness and structure, with layers of ripe dark fruit, velvety tannins and lingering notes of chocolate and spice.
