La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan, FR, 2023

La Mission Haut Brion's second wine, La Chapelle usually gets overlooked by consumers, but it really deserves attention, it is frequently one of the most stylish and charming wines in the appellation. The 2023 is a blend of 48.3% Merlot, 39.4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12.3% Cabernet Franc. Opening with an attractive bouquet of flowers and red fruit. Crisp and clear, lots of creamy cherry fruit caresses the palate, silky and fine grained, finishing with pixilated, powdery tannins.
