In a few words ...
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) and Merlot (45%), Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is the second wine from the Château la Mission Haut-Brion estate. This AOP Pessac-Léognan red wine was born on a terroir of gravel, clay and falun. Aged in oak barrels between 18 and 22 months, this dark-red, garnet-red cuvée reveals a lovely fruity bouquet (plum, blackberry, raspberry). The palate, with its notes of black fruit and spices, is fine and fresh. Complex and opulent, with persistent tannins.
Beaucoup d'élégance sur ce millésime !
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
