The Winery

La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion

In 2006, Chateau La Tour Haut-Brion changed its name to La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion as the second wine for the Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion. They produce two Semillon grape white wines called La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc (which was formerly Laville Haut-Brion) and, since 2009, La Clarté de Haut-Brion. The wines are made from grapes grown in the same vineyard, raised in the same manner, and benefit the same level of tending as those from Chateau La Mission Haut Brion. An interesting fact about the wines of La Chapelle is that a recurring word in tasting notes is “pleasure.” For the Chateau, it is important to them that their second label carry the same endearing qualities as the original estate.

Tasting Notes

WA92
Composed of 30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium garnet-purple colored 2015 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion opens with an earthy nose of mossy bark, fragrant soil and fallen leaves over a core of red and black currants, bay leaves and menthol plus a waft of violets. Medium to full-bodied, it has compelling restraint and elegance with soft tannins and great freshness, finishing on a mineral note. Possessing the spirit and many of the signature hallmarks of its big brother, this second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly nothing to sneeze at!
