La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion 2014

Winery

La Mission Haut Brion is located in Pessac Leognan in the southwestern part of Bordeaux. The manor is just opposite Chateau Haut Brion, between Berg Creek and Snake Creek, and is located on a vast gravel plateau, giving Mission Haut Brion unique, high-quality soil. The history of the winery can be traced back to the sixteenth century, and in 1682, the winery became famous after being taken over by the priests of the mission. The priests have worked hard and put a lot of effort into the vineyard, and in less than a century it has become one of the top local wineries.

Wine

La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion 2014 has a light aroma, very subtle and understated, with nice notes of blackberry, lingonberry, and blackcurrant unfolding gently in the glass; medium-bodied, with tobacco on the palate Taste of black fruit.

Wine Secret Comment: La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion 2014 has a very
explosive start right at the opening, with lots of nice notes of blackberries and
plums. The wine started to calm down after opening for an hour with a nice and light aroma. Suitable to drink in the next 10 years.
