Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "After a little shaking, notes of orange blossoms, fresh grapefruit, and just-ripe pineapple slowly emerge from the glass, followed by hints of fennel seed, wet pebbles, and blanched almonds. The medium-bodied palate is so silky and seamless, melting in your mouth with saline-laced citrus and tropical fruit layers, finishing with epic length and depth. Incredible."

James Suckling: "Minerally and understated nose, but it’s so pure and bright, showing lots of purity and precision this year. Subtle aromas of seashells, green kiwis, wet stones and meringue follow through to a medium- to full-bodied palate. Lots of texture and energy, yet it remains dry and really long. 56.1% semillon and 43.9% sauvignon blanc."

Weinwisser: "56.1 % Sémillon, 43.9 % Sauvignon Blanc, 38 hl/ha. Edles Parfüm, Schlüßelblume, Agrume und Grapefruit. Im zweiten Ansatz weißer Pfeffer, Nektarine und getrocknete Kamille. Am komplexen, tiefgründigen Gaumen mit balancierter Rasse, straff, edle Salznote im Untergrund, vibrierender Körper. Im gebündelten mittleren Finale Pampelmuse, Mandarinenzeste und edler Kreideton. Weiße Magie aus Pessac. Bravo!"

Vinum: "Leicht trübe Farbe; Feuerstein, Pfeffer, Grapefruit, Hefenoten, Salbeikräuter, Salzzitrone; opulent am Gaumen, reichhaltig, dabei nicht schwer, satte Frucht, gut verpackte Säure, ungemein würzig und von sehr grosser Länge. Eindrücklich, wenn auch nicht ganz mit dem Charme, den die Mission Haut-Brion sonst zeigt."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Honeysuckle, green apples, orange rind, white peach and flower aromatics are easy to spot. Elegant, refined, and fresh, the wine is filled with sweet fruits that gently caress your palate, lingering in the zesty finish. The wine is made from a blend of 56.1% Semillon with 43.9% Sauvignon Blanc. 13.75% ABV., 3.2 pH. Drink from 2027-2042."
