Founded in the 16th century, Mission Haut Brion is one of the oldest wineries in Bordeaux, France. Known for its exceptional terroir and commitment to quality, the winery produces world-renowned wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the region.

With a deep garnet color and complex aromas of black fruits, tobacco, and leather, the Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 1978 is a classic Bordeaux blend. On the palate, this wine offers ripe plum and cherry flavors, with hints of earthiness and spice. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a silky texture and a long, elegant finish. This vintage is drinking beautifully now, but still has the potential to age gracefully for many more years. Perfect for pairing with rich dishes like beef Wellington or lamb chops.
