justerini & brooks tasting note

The wonderful second wine of La Mission Haut Brion, Chapelle de la Mission 2024, crafted from a blend of 56.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29.2% Merlot, and 14.5% Cabernet Franc, opens with a beautiful bouquet revealing raspberry and a salty minerality. The mid-palate is suave and engaging, displaying an abundance of bright cherry and floral notes, with a subtle creamy texture. Nuances of rose and sour cherry contribute to its pretty and graceful character, leading to a balanced finish marked by strawberries and a distinctive salinity. A very smart second wine.

90-92/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple colored. Notes of juicy raspberries and mulberries leap from the glass, leading to hints of forest floor and pencil shavings with a hint of dusty soil. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and fragrant with great energy and freshness, finishing on a whispery red berry note.

88-90/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2024 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion has a reserved bouquet of tertiary black fruit with touches of smoke and cigar box. The palate is medium-bodied and quite sapid in the mouth with grainy tannins and a seaweed note on the aftertaste. The 2024 is a little taut at the moment, but if it gains a little flesh it should turn out fine.

90/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

High aromatics on the nose, and lovely vibrant fruit, ripe apples, cranberry, raspberry fruits, fresh acidities but crunchy and full of flavour. Austerity on the finish, but this is full of sappy charm, 26hl/h yield, 4.9% press, 31% new oak

89-91/100Yohan Castaing,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 56.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29.2% Merlot and 14.5% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is fresh and perfumed, offering up aromas of peonies, dark berries and green bell pepper. Moderately weighted and sappy, it's layered and youthfully introverted, underpinned by somewhat brittle tannins and concluding with a fresh, elegant finish.
