The Chapel of the Haut-Brion Mission
Produced in small quantities, this second wine is a gateway to the world of Château La Mission Haut-Brion. Its name is a nod to the chapel of the Mission Haut-Brion, erected by the Lazarist priests in 1698.

" 94 | Jeb Dunnuck "
I loved the 2018 La Chapelle De La Mission Haut-Brion, which ranks with some of the finest second wines out there. Showing the classic elegance that is the hallmark of this terroir, its ruby/purple color is followed by beautiful notes of black raspberries, mulberries, damp earth, graphite, truffle, and espresso roast. Rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, and light on its feet, it still brings plenty of concentration, ripe, seamless tannins, and serious length.
" 94 | James Suckling "
Purity of blueberry, blackcurrant and chocolate character here. Shell and iodine. It’s full-bodied, chewy and structured with lots of cool tannins that lead long through the center of the wine. Second wine of La Mission.
Winemaker Notes
The color is beautiful and deep. The nose presents a fresh fruitiness, finely wooded. The entry in the mouth is soft and fleshy, at the same time. The wine is tender and tasty in the evolution. It presents a moderately intense structure but a beautiful fruity and spicy length.
