After £600-a-bottle ‘First Growth’ Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission-Haut-Brion is the greatest Graves estate (in fact, they sit just across the road from each other). And “La Chapelle” is their second wine – a taste of their legendary quality for a much lower price. All from an exceptional vintage too.”Possessing the spirit and many of the signature hallmarks of its big brother, this second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly nothing to sneeze at!” (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate)As for the exceptional vintage, “put quite simply there were some sensational wines made in Bordeaux in 2015” (Wine writer for the Sunday Times, Will Lyons)Though La Chapelle de la Mission can be enjoyed right now in all its fruit-forward glory, it can easily age for a further 5-10 years to further develop deeper layers of complexity. So luscious in every way. Lashings of plum sauce, blackberries and cassis on the palate. Smooth liquorice melts into warming seams of toasty cedar wood. Enjoy the fine-grained tannins over it's wonderfully long and luxurious finish.

"The smartest way to taste Bordeaux's finest…"
