Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion Description
The colour of this wine is a dark, strong purple. Moderately intense on the first nose, but after swirling it reveals notes of delicately woody ripe fruits. Lovely balance. On the palate, the first taste is fresh, wide and flavoursome. Relatively long, the wine gives a sensation of incredible pleasure for a second wine. A really lovely Chapelle!
James Suckling: 94 Points
The blackberry, blueberry and violet aromas are impressive. It’s medium-bodied, salty and energetic with firm tannins. A vivid wine. 48.3% merlot, 39.4% cabernet sauvignon and 12.3% cabernet franc.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Black fruit aromas, rich tannins and structure give this wine an initial firmness. But at the same time, it already has a smooth texture that goes with the black fruits and acidity. The wine will certainly age well.
Vinous: 92 Points
Deep, layered and sumptuous in the glass, the 2023 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion is terrific. Blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice, mocha and dried herbs are all dialed up to the maximum. A potent second wine, La Chapelle delivers the goods, big time. Give the tannins a bit of time to soften.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Opening with a gourmand and inviting bouquet of dark berries, cassis, mulberries and spices, the 2023 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion offers a juicy, round and supple palate framed by velvety tannins and lively acidity. Approachable yet well structured, it concludes with a long, fresh finish. This is a convincing success in this vintage.
