94-95
A light and very juicy wine with solid, fine-grained tannins. Red plums and cherries with touches of cedar, minerals and graphite. Fine tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Firm, succulent and linear. Refined and bright in the finish. 56.3% cabernet sauvignon, 29.2% merlot and 14.5% cabernet franc
Falstaff (92)
Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Floral nuances, a hint of raspberries, fresh red cherries, notes of orange zest. Medium complexity, blackberries, fresh structure, fine acidity, cherries on the finish, already well developed.

Based on 56.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29.2% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, the 2024 La Chapelle De La Mission Haut-Brion is well-made and should be outstanding, with a pure, medium-bodied, elegant, and finesse-driven style. Ripe red and black fruits, leafy tobacco, and some loamy earth notes all shine here, and it has fine tannins, juicy, integrated acidity, and just a charming, satisfying style.

The 2024 La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion is soft, open-knit and juicy, all qualities that will make it a fine choice for drinking on release. Unusually, Cabernet Sauvignon takes the lead in 2024. It's a style that works quite well. Macerated cherry, plum, spice, new leather and tobacco all build nicely in the glass.
Decanter (90)
Sweet and creamy rose petal scents on the nose, smells floral and nicely scented with lots of red cherry. Succulent and streamlined, this has a delicate core of juicy strawberry fruit with a creamy undertone. Finishes saline with bite and some toasted nuts as well as tobacco and liquorice. Tannins are a touch chewy bringing density and flesh to the palate with a direct line of acidity which keeps things lifted and focussed. Unfussy, pure and easy to drink. 3.67pH. 4.9% press.
