The La Chapelle de La Mission - 2nd vin du Château la Mission-Haut-Brion is, as the name indicates, the second wine of this famous house from the Pessac Léognan. The 2018 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is composed of 40.8% Merlot, 51.6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.6% Cabernet Franc, harvested from September 10 to October 2. Deep garnet purple colored in the glass. It has fresh and crisp aromas of raspberry, blueberry and warm blackcurrant with a hint of wet forest floor, yeast, menthol and espresso plus a fragrant hint of red roses. The palate is full-bodied and has a wonderful freshness that lifts the preserves of black and red fruits, framed by nicely rounded tannins and ends with a savory note. This is a beautiful wine and has many characteristics of its big brother La Mission Haut-Brion.
