La Mission Haut Brion, Pessac-Leognan, 2007
La Mission Haut-Brion is the great rival and across-the-road neighbor of Haut-Brion itself, a Cru Classe of the Graves and one of the most storied estates in all of Bordeaux. And 2007 is the connoisseur's vintage to grab: a year given the cold shoulder on release that has aged into one of its quiet triumphs, with the wine drinking gorgeously now while top years remain locked away. The 2007 blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the gravel terroir of Pessac and Talence, just southwest of the city of Bordeaux. Expect the estate's signature smoky, gravelly, almost savory character, medium-bodied and finely structured. A mature, classified-growth Pessac-Leognan at its peak.
