The history of Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a tapestry of spirituality and prestige stretching back to 1540. Originally established by the Bordeaux merchant Arnaud de Lestonnac, the estate’s soul was truly forged in the 17th century by the "Priests of the Mission"—the Lazarists—who transformed the land into a center of viticultural excellence. Throughout the centuries, the property has passed through the hands of visionaries, from the American Chiapella family to the innovative Woltners. In 1983, the Dillon family took the helm, launching an ambitious renovation program. Under the guidance of Domaine Clarence Dillon, the estate has undergone a "New Renaissance," meticulously preserving its ancient aura and consecrated chapel while integrating world-class technical enhancements to ensure its status as a premier global wine destination.
