2019、2012、2011と3回のテイスティング
すべてWA100ポイントの最高評価!

五大シャトー、オー・ブリオンと並ぶ最高評価。
2000年ヴィンテージ以来の快挙です！

女性的と言われるオー・ブリオンに対し、ラ・ミッションは味わいが力強く重い男性的なスタイルが特徴！

5大シャトーの一角、シャトー・オー・ブリオンとその実力がほぼ互角とされている、ライバルシャトー。ヴィンテージによってその評価はオー・ブリオンを超えることもしばしば。オー・ブリオンを擁するディロン家がラ・ミッション・オー・ブリオンを購入してからは、シャトーの大改革を行い、近年より品質が向上しています。

「シャトー・ラ・ミッション・オー・ブリオン」は、道を1本はさんでオー・ブリオンと向かい合うオー・ブリオンの兄弟にして最大のライバル。醸造はブドウを手摘みで収穫した後、温度管理したステンレスタンクで約14日間発酵を行い、50~100%新樽フレンチオークで約20～24ヵ月間熟成させます。がっしりとした骨格のワインですが、熟成とともに丸くなり、女性的に変化していくのが特徴です。官能的な果実味と心地良いタンニンがラ・ミッション・オー・ブリオンの世界へ誘います。

The deep garnet colored 2009 La Mission Haut-Brion absolutely sings of warm red and black currants, chocolate-covered cherries, liquid licorice, sassafras and espresso with hint of lilacs, pencil shavings and truffles. Full-bodied, rich, bold and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, the palate is completely packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing epically long. Wow!

The 2009 was not part of this vertical tasting, so I am repeating the tasting note published in issue #199 of The Wine Advocate from a tasting done in January, 2012.
A candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2009 La Mission-Haut-Brion stood out as one of the most exceptional young wines I had ever tasted from barrel, and its greatness has been confirmed in the bottle. A remarkable effort from the Dillon family, this is another large-scaled La Mission that tips the scales at 15% alcohol. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (47% of each) and the rest Cabernet Franc, it exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a magnificent bouquet of truffles, scorched earth, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, subtle smoke and spring flowers. The wine’s remarkable concentration offers up an unctuous/viscous texture, a skyscraper-like mouthfeel, sweet, sumptuous, nearly over-the-top flavors and massive density. Perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime La Mission-Haut-Brion, the 2009 will take its place alongside the many great wines made here since the early 1920s. The good news is that there are nearly 6,000 cases of the 2009. It should last for 50-75+ years. Given the wine’s unctuosity and sweetness of the tannin, I would have no problem drinking it in about 5-6 years. The final blend was 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc.
