Signature pairings
- Roast rack of lamb with thyme — Lamb fat and browned crust soften Cabernet Sauvignon tannin while the herb character meets the wine's savoury side.
- Grilled ribeye with bone marrow — A tannic, Cabernet-led red needs the protein and fat of a well-marbled cut to show its structure as texture rather than grip.
- Aged Comté with walnuts — The nutty, crystalline character of long-aged Comté echoes the tertiary development in a mature Graves red without overwhelming it.
Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 2004 is a Graves Grand Cru Classé red wine anchored by Merlot (56%), with Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) and Cabernet Franc (4%) providing structure and aromatic complexity. This Left Bank Bordeaux blend exhibits the region's hallmark dark fruit intensity—blackcurrant and plum—layered with cedar, tobacco, and graphite minerality characteristic of mature Graves terroir. Medium-full body and medium-high tannins frame a wine built for cellaring and food pairing, with secondary oak influence and tertiary leather notes emerging as the wine evolves. Ideal for serious collectors and those seeking classic Bordeaux architecture.
