Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2022

Commentaire

This has real al dente fruit character on the palate with lemon rind and blackcurrants with blueberries. Lead pencil and stone, too. Full-bodied with chewy and juicy tannins that are primary and growing quickly on the palate as you taste it. Reminds me of the 1978, but brighter and more precise. 51.7% cabernet sauvignon, 43.2% merlot and 5.1% cabernet franc.

Couleur sombre, intense et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil, floral et délicatement fumé. Ample à l'attaque, ample en milieu de bouche, très aromatique, gras, puissant et énergique, le vin va loin en finale, complexe et savoureux. Puis viennent les touches tanniques tramant l'ensemble. Assemblage : 51,7 % cabernet sauvignon, 43,2 % merlot, 5,1 % cabernet franc.

Gorgeous intensity on the nose, really fragrant and perfumed, richly scented with black fruits and bramble berries. Round, full, persistent and thrilling on the palate, a perfect balance between rich, concentrated and intense fruit and lively acidity. There is density and crispness while remaining quite pure and focussed, no overt over ripeness or heaviness. Precise and elegant, juicy and alive. This has supreme charm. 4pH. Georgina Hindle.

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2022 exudes a milky texture within its opulent body while displaying silky-smooth aromatic lines in its delightful finish. Although the alcohol content is quite high, there is no sense of warmth, achieving an almost inconceivable balance. The smooth, milk-like liquid washes over the palate in waves, accompanied by elegant strides of velvety tannins. Tasting this wine is like having a toffee-filled candy melt on the tip of your tongue; as the creamy richness dissipates, a fragrant burst of wine-soaked cherries unfolds. The wine features a Cabernet Sauvignon proportion of 51.7%, the highest in recent years, yet the overall style still maintains the charming characteristics of Château La Mission Haut-Brion.

A rich and muscular wine that reflects the warmth of the vintage, the 2022 La Mission Haut-Brion reveals aromas of dark berries, cherries and crème de cassis mingled with licorice, spices, incense and spring flowers. Full-bodied, broad and concentrated, it's surprisingly lively despite an elevated pH of 4.0, exhibiting a seamless, broad-shouldered profile with an ample core of fruit framed by rich, powdery tannin. It's a blend of 51.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43.2% Merlot and 5.1% Cabernet Franc. Yohan Castaing.

51.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43.2% Merlot, 5.1% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Deep, bright crimson. Subdued but with a stony freshness. Cassis as it opens. Vibrant attack with good acidity and freshness. Long and linear, the tannins firm but wrapped in fruit. Persistent. James Lawther MW.

51.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43.2% Merlot, 5.1% Cabernet Franc Le bouquet de la Mission se révèle avec subtilité, presque timidité, mais il affiche de nombreuses nuances, avec des effluves de myrtilles, de sureau et de fraises, donc une variante rouge et noire ! Légèrement crémeux, le vin se révèle en crescendo. Ses tannins sont fins, veloutés. Ils apparaissent vers le milieu de bouche et font une impression sereine. Ils offrent de la puissance, sont de pair avec la structure acide et soutiennent idéalement la fin de bouche. Je trouve La Mission un peu sur la réserve, pas encore vraiment là où on a l’habitude de le trouver. L’énergie, la finesse et la puissance sont là. Par contre il me semble que d’un point de vue définition, le vin n’est pas encore calé. Il n’en est pas moins prometteur, mais moins performant qu’à l’accoutumé. 2028-2047.
