2024, Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion, PESSAC-LÉOGNAN, Rouge

Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc.

This is the second wine of La Mission Haut Brion and it usually contains all the fruit from the Tour Haut Brion vineyard. In 2024 Chapelle is 56.3% cabernet sauvignon, 29.2% merlot and 14.5% cabernet franc.

A very juicy wine with solid, fine-grained tannins. Red plums and cherries with touches of cedar, minerals and graphite. Fine tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Firm, succulent and linear. Refined and bright in the finish.
94-95 James Suckling.

Deep garnet-purple coloured. Notes of juicy raspberries and mulberries leap from the glass, leading to hints of forest floor and pencil shavings with a hint of soil. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and fragrant with great energy and freshness, finishing on a whispery red berry note.
90-92 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW.

The 2024 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion is soft, open-knit and juicy, all qualities that will make it a fine choice for drinking on release. Unusually, Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead in 2024. It's a style that works quite well. Macerated cherry, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco all build nicely in the glass. Drink: 2028-2036
90-92 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
