The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc demands patience, revealing its complexity only after generous aeration. Peach skin, almond and hazelnut emerge with remarkable definition, building layers of yellow fruit and subtle lanolin. The palate shows exceptional balance, with tangy marmalade notes giving way to dried honey and a peppery finish. Cerebral and focused, this is white Bordeaux at its most compelling.
