About this Item
La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion is the second wine of the famous Bordeaux winery Château La Mission Haut-Brion. La Mission Haut-Brion is a prestigious estate located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux, known for producing some of the finest red wines in the world. La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion is made from younger vines and grapes that do not meet the strict selection criteria for the estate's main wine. However, it is still made with the same care and attention to detail as the first wine, and is considered to be a high-quality wine in its own right.

Critics Ratings
'Deep smudgy crimson. Sweetly oaky and spiced on the nose. Lots of lovely mature dark-red fruit. Chewy, deep and full of fruit right to the finish, still showing quite a bit of oak.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Feb 2020)
'Deliciously tarry from the start, with a cauldron of steeped blackberry, boysenberry and pastis-soaked plum fruit melded to well-roasted apple wood and graphite notes. Intense and grippy, showing purity and polish. Should benefit from mid-term cellaring. Best from 2016 through 2030.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Mar 2013)
'Firm and tannic, while there are also sweet berry fruits and black currant flavors. The acidity is important.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Jun 2011)
