La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion
Pessac Leognan - Second Wine
Description
An emblematic wine of the Pessac-Léognan appellation, La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion is particularly sought after for its delicate profile marked by notes of red fruits and by the finesse of its tannins that linger for a long time. If this cuvée is not the emblem of this mythical property, it provides a magnificent introduction.
Thus, the grape varieties that compose it draw their letters of nobility from gravel soils resting on a base of clay and sand that gives this beautiful balance between power, ageing potential and distinction.
Wine Advocate : “The 2023 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion offers up aromas of blueberries, cassis and dark wild berries. Medium-bodied, long and fleshy, it’s nicely integrated, with a dense core of fruit, youthfully firm tannins and a persistent finish. Deeper and more structured than usual, it will regards some patience. This is a blend of 48.3% Merlot, 39.4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12.3% Cabernet Franc.”
