Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a classified winery in the Pessac-Léognan region, set on rolling hills with mineral-rich soils. The vineyards hold a carefully tended mix of grape varieties that are harvested and processed in well-equipped cellars on the grounds.

The property began in the 17th century and was later taken over by a religious order who improved it over time. Through the centuries it gained recognition as a top-tier vineyard under different owners.

The estate's name comes from the religious community that lived here, showing how faith and winemaking were intertwined for centuries. You can still see the chapel built by the Lazarist priests, a reminder of the spiritual side of this working vineyard.

You can visit the property by booking ahead, and explore both the vineyard rows and the production areas. The best times are during warmer months when the vines are full and the cellars are actively working on new vintages.

The property keeps old traditions from the time of the Lazarist monks while also using modern methods, blending past and present. This mix of heritage and innovation makes it a place where history still feels alive today.
