Minerals and blueberries with plenty of blackcurrant character. Medium body and silky tannins. Pretty second wine of La Mission.
While this wine has great tannins, it is the fruit that makes it—black currant, blackberry and acidity all come together in great balance. This will age quickly over the next 10 years.
The 2016 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 36.5% Merlot, 21.5% Cabernet Franc and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon picked from 19 September to 14 October. Matured in 23% new oak, it has a very succinct bouquet with tensile black cherry and pressed flower aromas, subtle at first but soon gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, very precise and focused with razor-sharp definition. This is one of the most sophisticated La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion releases that I have tasted from barrel and it bodes well for the future. I expect this will nudge past the 2015 once in bottle. Let's see!
La Mission Haut-Brion
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.
