A beautiful 1,000-case blend of 83% Semillon and the rest Sauvignon Blanc from the owners of La Mission Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion, this beauty exhibits oodles of marmalade, honeysuckle, caramelized melons and candle wax in a medium-bodied, authoritative style. Drink it over the next decade or more. Score: 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2023 01 February 2013 |

A blend of 83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc, this effort reveals lots of oily citrus, orange marmalade, melons and honeysuckle characteristics. It should drink well young and last for 10-12 years Score: 90 - 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011 |

Light pale straw. Strong semillon notes of wax and white peach on the pretty, floral nose. A bit tart on entry, with flavors similar to the aromas. This politely styled wine offers a clean, moderately persistent finish featuring a hint of peach. Conveys attractive sweetness and an impression of early accessibility. Score: 86 - 89 Ian D'Agata, Vinous.com 01 August 2011 |

1100 cases made of this, the second wine of La Mission Haut Brion Blanc and Haut Brion Blanc (formerly known as Plantiers Haut Brion). Intense and pure with white fruit, justa little heady. Full with pear drops and soft peach finish. Score: 91 - 94 Albany Vintners, - 28 April 2011 |

A blend of 83% Semillon and 17% Sauvignon Blanc, the second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc has a tight, shellfish tinged nose from the Semillon with hints of green lemon and pink grapefruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh, crisp green apple tinged entry, good acidity here but perhaps just a little short towards the finish. Tasted March 2011. Score: 86 - 88 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 26 April 2011 |

83% Sémillon, 17% Sauvignon Blanc. Pale greenish. Rich nose with a suggestion of the most exotic bath oil possible. Very fresh and again some citrus peel. A little dry and sudden on the finish. But there is great vivacity here. 13.8% Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2025 11 April 2011 |

Fragrant, with kiwifruit, plantain and lemon curd aromas and flavors, laced with honeysuckle. Features a toasted macadamia hint on the finish. Tasted non-blind. Score: 91 - 94 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 05 April 2011 |

Grapefruity and slightly exotic nose, fleshy Semillon fruit with Sauvignon lift, great harmony and length. Score: 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2012-2018 01 April 2011 |
