The Mission Haut-Brion vineyard owes its name, its origins, and is three centuries reputation to the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentian fathers) founded in the 17th century. This estate was given to them in 1682 by the owner’s heirs.
The vineyard spreads on about 21 hectares of an average age of 30 years on a gravelly soil and production amounts to 75 barrels per year depending on the vintages, that is to say 70.000 bottles for an average yield per hectare of 2.500 litres.
Grape varieties : Cabernet Sauvignon 47%, Merlot Noir 44%, Cabernet Franc 7%
The whole harvest is done by hand and every year the wine is matured in new barrels, for 18 to 22 months before being bottled.
