1995 Château La Mission Haut-Brion | Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé de Graves | 375ml Half Bottle

The 1995 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 375ml Half Bottle 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 1995 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 375ml Half Bottle format adds extra appeal for collectors and buyers who want a smaller presentation bottle for tasting, gifting, or display. Half bottles can mature differently than standard 750ml bottles, so condition, provenance, and storage history are especially important.

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.

The 1995 Château La Mission Haut-Brion 375ml Half Bottle is ideal for private cellars, Bordeaux collections, birth-year gifting, anniversaries, and special vintage tastings. Mature Bordeaux bottles can vary depending on provenance and storage history, so buyers should review fill level, cork condition, capsule condition, label condition, and overall bottle presentation before purchase or service.

Collector’s Note

This bottle features 1995 Château La Mission Haut-Brion in 375ml Half Bottle format. Because mature Bordeaux and half bottles are 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 only if needed to separate sediment. Avoid extended air exposure, since mature Bordeaux, especially in half-bottle format, can evolve quickly once opened.

Food Pairing

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