How best to enjoy a Château La Mission Haut-Brion wine?

The wines of La Mission Haut-Brion deserve special attention to appreciate all their nuances. To fully reveal their complex bouquet, we recommend decanting for 1 to 2 hours before tasting, especially for recent vintages. The ideal serving temperature is around 16-18°C. These wines go well with refined dishes, such as game, duck or grilled red meats. For older vintages, serving immediately after opening is often preferable to preserve their finesse.
