LA CHAPELLE DE LA MISSION HAUT BRION, 2023
En primeurs 2023
Vintage 2023
After a rainy and cold winter, the vine experienced rapid growth supported by regular rainfall and warm days. These conditions encouraged the development of mildew, which was contained thanks to the vineyard team's efforts. Flowering took place under perfect conditions, indicating a generous harvest to come.
Harvest
From September 6 to October 3.
Aging
The wine was aged in 21.2% new French oak barrels.
Wine Profile
"The color of this wine is dark and intense, purple-hued. The initial nose is relatively expressive, but swirling reveals ripe fruit finely touched by oak. Beautiful balance. On the palate, the attack is fresh, broad, and flavorful. The wine is rather long, leaving an incredible sense of pleasure for a second wine. A very lovely Chapelle!" – Ch. La Mission Haut-Brion

History and anecdotes
Located in front of Château Haut-Brion upon which it shares a large gravel terrace, the Mission Haut-Brion’s history is closely related to the Château Haut-Brion ones.
It was founded in the 16th century by the Lestonnac family when Arnaud de Lestonnac got married to Marie de Pontac (Haut-Brion). In the following century, it was bequeathed to the Vincentian priests of the Mission who carried out major works on the vines. In the 19th, the Chiapella family related to Louisiana, participated in the Mission Haut-Brion’s transatlantic reputation.
In 1983, the Clarence Dillon estate, owner of Château Haut-Brion, acquired the Mission, thus benefiting from the same know-how.
The Mission Haut-Brion was seized during the French Revolution and sold as “National Asset ''.
“If God would forbid drinking, would he have made this wine as good as it is?” would have declared the Marshal de Richelieu about the Mission Haut-Brion.
