Named after the chapel that brings out the monastic feel of Château la Mission Haut-Brion, this second wine is firm and tannic, with a dusty texture and a dry, firm aftertaste. It's nowhere near ready to drink although with its weight and the potential of the underlying black currant fruits, it's likely to be richly dense in the years to come. Drink from 2018.

Pure and precise aromas of dark fruits and currants with hints of stones follow through to a full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Harmonious and very elegant. Better in 2017.
La Mission Haut-Brion<br /> <br /> Chateau La Mission Haut Brion has been under the same ownership and management as Chateau Haut-Brion since 1983. Cultivated by monks until the French revolution, the Chateau produce approximately 10,000 cases per annum. It is a strong contender for first growth status. Their red is consistently powerful with dark plum and earthy notes, requiring at least 10 years cellaring. They also do one of Bordeaux’s top whites. Their white wine has received the maximum of 100 points by reviewers.
