  This is really so Bordeaux with incredible semillon character. Lemon skin, pears, apples and hints of stone and wood. It’s so primary and just like eating perfectly ripe grapes. Full-bodied yet polished and compact. Endless finish. Ethereal. Energetic acidity. Best to drink this in four or five years and beyond, but worth opening a bottle now to understand its greatness."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  With a pronounced floral bouquet, the wine continues expanding in the nose with notes of lemons, Granny Smith apples, lemon curd, sea salt, honeysuckle, tropical fruits, and pears. Rich, crisp, sweet, fresh, and mouth-filling, this is a sublime wine that will evolve, and develop for decades."

  Der grandiose weiße La Mission 2021 hat eine feine, saftige Nase mit viel Sémillon- Charakter und delikater Exotik. Total fein und ausgewogen, zeigt er sich im Mund enorm saftig und spannungsgeladen, mit viel Zitrus und Kräuterwürze. Salzig, mineralisch und ewig lang am Gaumen, mit irrer Intensität."

  Sehr komplexe, würzig-blumige Aromatik; von ausgesprochener Rasse und ewiger Länge, noch sehr verschlossen; ein Wein, der lange reifen darf."

  A bigger, richer white, especially in the context of the vintage, the 2021 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc offers up a medium to full-bodied, vibrant, concentrated style as well as classic notes of honeyed melon, crushed stone, white flowers, and dried herbs. I love its mid-palate depth, and it has beautifully integrated acidity and outstanding length. It's another serious, age-worthy white in 2021 that will benefit from short-term bottle age and be long-lived."

  This is fleshy and thrilling, with white apricot, slate, gunsmoke and mandarin zest. Good structure also, pretty closed right now, with touches of reduction and a juicy mouthwatering finish. Lower Sémillon than usual, meaning lees stirring to fill out the flesh in the mid palate. Higher alcohol in this white than in the reds, very unusual."

  La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2021 leaps from the glass with notes of fresh grapefruit, white peaches, and honeysuckle, leading to touches of elderflower and sea spray. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound, with vibrant stone fruit and zesty flavors, supported by a crisp backbone, finishing long and steely."

  The Wine Advocate
  A fresh, incipiently complex bouquet of pear, grapefruit, freshly baked bread and wet stones prefaces the 2021 La Mission Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a satiny attack that segues into a taut, structured mid-palate built around chalky dry extract, which lend this a more tightly-knit, mordant profile than the broader, fatter and more enveloping Haut-Brion Blanc."

  Helles Grüngelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Verhaltenes Bukett, feine Nuancen von gelber Tropenfrucht, frische Wiesenkräuter, kandierte Grapefruitzesten, braucht etwas Luft. Stoffig, kräftig, elegant, zarte Birnenfrucht, ein Hauch von Süße, weißes Nugat im Abgang, zarter Holztouch im Abgang, gute Länge, verfügt über Reifepotenzial."

  Floral and green fruit aromas on the nose. Juicy and upfront, lively and fun, this has zing and focus. I love the almost sherbet lemon touch to the initial expression followed by soft green fruit and some softly spiced herbal accents. It’s clear and clean, bright and focussed. Tapers a little towards the finish, just lightening, but lovely and enjoyable - very aerial in style."

  Very pale. Creamy, alluring nose. Quite rich with lots of lanolin and personality. Only Bordeaux could produce this style of wine. Really rather gorgeous. With considerable potential."
