Garnet with intense red highlights. |

A beautifully mature nose with fruity flavours and subtle woody notes. |
|
|
| |
|
This is a generous, well-balanced wine with vibrant freshness and a long, elegant finish. Subtle notes from oak aging enhance its smooth texture and depth without overshadowing the wine’s natural character—adding richness and indulgence that will only grow more enticing over time. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
In the heart of Pessac-Léognan, La Mission Haut-Brion stands directly across from Château Haut-Brion. These two legendary estates share the same extraordinary terroir and the same winemaking team.
While Haut-Brion sometimes asserts itself more strongly with age, the sensuality of La Mission’s wines often gives them an early edge, a quality frequently praised by critics — with a tender, exquisitely smooth mid-palate that defines its style.
The estate’s second label, La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, captures the property's legendary silkiness with remarkable flair — a true expression of excellence! |
|
|
| |
|
Revealing a 2021 of exceptional pedigree, the 2021 Red La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion from Pessac-Léognan once again proves its class. Generous and complete, it carries the freshness of the vintage with finesse, delivering an extra layer of velvety texture and a beautifully persistent finish—clear signs of a wine built for graceful, rewarding aging. |
