Produced in small quantities, this second wine is a gateway to the world of Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Its name is a nod to the chapel of La Mission Haut-Brion, built by Lazarist priests in 1698. The 2005 vintage is a blend of 30% Merlot, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Soft, very fruity nose, well structured with predominantly red fruit flavours and powerful tannins.

The 2005 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion has an intense nose that is impressive for a Second wine, quite plush and appealing with black cherries, liquorice and subtle peppermint aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine weight and depth, pure black fruit and a continuation of that liquorice theme through its slightly medicinal finish. Excellent. Tasted at the château.

Long Lived Reds and Whites
Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the preeminent estates in the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated and long-lived wines. The prestigious first label, La Mission Haut-Brion, is a near equal blend of Cabernet and Merlot, giving wonderfully focused wines with bramble and floral character. This illustrious estate also produces a stellar second label, La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion.
Two beautiful whites are made: La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, which is a aromatic, Sémillon-dominant blend with beautiful citrus and stone fruit, and a second white, La Clarté de Haut Brion (which also takes grapes from the Château Haut-Brion estate).
