The 1987 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 750ml is a collectible mature Bordeaux from one of the most iconic estates in the Graves region. Located in Pessac-Léognan, Château La Mission Haut-Brion is known for producing structured, complex wines with a distinctive smoky and mineral-driven character.

This bottle carries the 1987 vintage, giving it strong appeal for Bordeaux collectors, vintage wine buyers, milestone gifting, and rare cellar additions. Its Cru Classé de Graves status, historic estate reputation, and mature bottle age make it especially desirable for collectors who appreciate classic aged Left Bank Bordeaux.

The wine may show notes of cassis, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, tobacco, leather, graphite, smoke, dried herbs, earth, spice, and cigar box. With extended bottle age, it may also reveal forest floor, truffle, dried fruit, savory mineral notes, and softened tannins. As a result, this bottle offers the mature Bordeaux profile that collectors often seek.

The 1987 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 750ml is ideal for private cellars, Bordeaux collections, birth-year gifting, anniversaries, and special vintage dinners. However, mature Bordeaux bottles can vary depending on provenance and storage history.

Collector’s Note

This bottle features 1987 Château La Mission Haut-Brion in 750ml format. Because mature Bordeaux is highly condition-sensitive, buyers should review provenance, storage history, fill level, cork integrity, capsule condition, label condition, and overall bottle presentation before purchase.

Serving Recommendation

Serve around 60–65°F. Stand the bottle upright before opening to allow sediment to settle. Open carefully and decant gently to separate sediment. Avoid extended air exposure, since mature Bordeaux can evolve quickly once opened.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with ribeye steak, filet mignon, roasted lamb, duck breast, braised short ribs, veal, mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, aged Comté, aged cheddar, and classic French cuisine.
