旗下26公頃的葡萄園紅白品種都有種植,都是依照土壤的特性選擇適合的品種。紅品種的園區是深厚的礫石覆蓋在黏土和砂質土上,種植比例是Cabernet Sauvignon 45.8%、Merlot 43.8%和Cabernet Franc 10.4 %,高比例的Merlot讓它的紅酒風格豐盈又有甜美的果味,因而人氣高漲不下。
有3.5公頃的園區種植白品種,分別是Semillon 61.7%和Sauvignon Blanc 38.3%,在全新法國橡木桶發酵,然後在全新法國橡木桶熟成13-16個月;以前這款白酒的名稱是Laville-Haut-Brion blanc,自2009年份開始才改名為La Mission Haut-Brion blanc。一直以來,這款白酒被譽為最好的波爾多不甜白酒之一,唯一會比它更好的應該只有Haut-Brion白酒了!

I enjoyed this wine in its first 20-25 years of life, but it has always been a rustic-styled La Mission, and as it has aged (this was the first bottle I have had in many a year), the volatile acidity and aggressiveness of the tannins are apparent as well as off-putting. A distinctive aroma of volatile acidity along with ashtray, smoke, camphor, faded fruit and damp earth notes emerge from the glass of this garnet/amber/orange-colored, medium-bodied wine that is clearly near the end of its life. Given the tart acids, it will probably hold together for another decade, but the rustic exuberance it revealed in its youth is long gone. Nevertheless, some interesting things are still going on, especially in the aromatics, and if you don’t mind some rather dramatic volatile acidity you may rate it higher than I.
