2015 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Pessac-Léognan La Mission Haut-Brion, Bordeaux (3l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Pessac-Léognan, La Mission Haut-Brion

Made up of 33% Sauvignon Blanc and 67% Semillon, the La Mission Haut-Brion 2015 Blanc has a slightly closed nose, offering peeks at lemon curd, white peach and yuzu notes with accents of musk perfume, garrigue, fresh hay and wet pebbles. Medium to full-bodied with a lovely textural element of phenolic grip and a racy acid line cutting through the intense stone fruit and savory layers, it finishes with great persistence. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Feb. 2018

Vinous - 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc Pessac-Léognan, La Mission Haut-Brion

The 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc has a relatively conservative bouquet, yet one that is well defined and focused; subtle gravel notes filter through the citrus fruit, white peach and honeysuckle aromas. The balanced palate features gorgeous dried mango, peach and white pepper notes. The acidity is supremely well judged, and a wonderful spiciness dominates the persistent finish. Compelling. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. - Neil Martin, July 2019
