The property came into being after it was purchased by Jean de Pontac in 1533. Pontac was also the owner of what later became Chateau Haut Brion. Jean de Pontac was responsible for the birth of several of the best estates and vineyards in Bordeaux.
The 26 hectare vineyard of Chateau La Mission Haut Brion is planted to the vineyard is planted to 45.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43.8% Merlot and 10.4% Cabernet Franc. This shows a marked increase in Merlot plantings matched with a decrease in Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc since the mid, 1990’s.
