Description:
A polished and approachable second wine from a prestigious estate, La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion 2014 offers a balanced and elegant expression of Pessac-Léognan. It reveals layers of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of smoke, cedar, tobacco, and subtle spice. Medium to full-bodied, it shows refined tannins, fresh acidity, and a smooth texture, making it both accessible and capable of short- to medium-term aging.
