---|---|---|---|---|
Rich and luscious bilberry and black cherry fruits on the nose, creamy, touch of liquorice and butterscotch, supple texture to the tannins even at this early stage, balance provided by a sprig of rosemary, burnt fennel, crayon. A highly seductive La Chapelle. Score: 93 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2028-2040 Date: 06 March 2025 |

The 2022 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion has a fruit-driven bouquet with black cherry, blueberry and light pencil box scents. It shows a little more restraint compared to its showing from barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant tannins, good weight and still with that dab of dark chocolate toward the finish. Give this two or three years in bottle—it's a very giving La Chapelle. Score: 91 Neal Martin, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2026-2038 Date: 12 February 2025 |

The 2022 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion is gorgeous. Silky, open-knit and inviting, it is an absolute delight. A wine of total refinement, La Chapelle is all class. Medium in body, with striking aromatics and a chiseled persistence, the 2022 is so expressive today. Dark fruit, leather, incense and licorice saturate the palate. What a great wine.

The 2022 La Chapelle De La Mission Haut-Brion is based on 56% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc. A red and black-fruited, forward, beautifully textured second wine, it’s medium to full-bodied and offers ripe red and black fruits, notes of leafy herbs, flowers, and scorched earth, supple tannins, and outstanding length.
