Winemaker Notes
The bouquet is redolent of red fruit. In fact, this is a paradoxical wine. It is soft on the palate, yet also quite tannic and, although fresh, it also has a certain warmth and suavity. 2012 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is full-bodied and juicy, but tightly-wound on the middle palate. Barrel ageing overseen by a talented cellarmaster will enable this wine to show its character more clearly in the coming months.
About Winery
Produced in small quantities, this second wine is a gateway to the world of Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Its name is a nod to the chapel of La Mission Haut-Brion, built by Lazarist priests in 1698.
