Château La Mission Haut-Brion Pessac Léognan La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion 2021

The best estates have really worked the aromatics during ageing, recognising that the 2021s are less concentrated at their heart than many recent vintages. This is a great example, expressive and enticing, with spiced cloves and white pepper, campfire and crushed rocks, with plenty of raspberry and loganberry fruit that have a sense of springing back after the first sip. 48hl/h yields after no frost and very little mildew. 27% new oak.
