La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion
Our committee's review
A magical vintage, the twin of Haut-Brion, not to be missed under any circumstances in this legendary 2016 vintage, which is typically highly regarded.
At the heart of Pessac-Léognan, La Mission Haut-Brion stands in opposition to Château Haut-Brion. These two legends share the same terroir as well as the same winemaking teams. While Haut-Brion may occasionally take the lead in aging, the sensuality of La Mission's wines bestows upon it, in its early years, a superiority recognized by the majority of critics. As they age, there is nothing to envy about its rival, with a consistently tender and exquisitely suave core of flavor.
We have chosen for you the second wine - La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion - which will allow you to experience the genius of the Château in an exceptional vintage at a price five times lower than that of the elder sibling.
The 2016 Red Pessac-Léognan Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion once again showcases magnificent craftsmanship. With an unparalleled freshness, supported by a unique silkiness and top-notch cabernets, this vintage boasts a lavish velvety texture, tinged with aromas of black fruits, spices, black tea, and flowers. Profound, intense, and exceptionally promising, it ranks among the greats. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
The 2016 vintage, rated 94/100 by Parker, represents the peak of the chateau; the second wine is never far behind...!
