The 2021 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc reveals understated elegance with yellow plum and honeysuckle threading through a tightly woven frame. The palate shows beautiful balance, citric acidity providing backbone while orange rind and persimmon notes emerge on the finish. There's impressive tension here, suggesting this may evolve into something quite special. Rivals its famous neighbor across the road.
