La Chapelle Mission Haut-Brion 2020
Bordeaux - Pessac-Leognan - 2nd Wine - Red Wine -La Chapelle Mission Haut-Brion 2020
Appellation: Pessac Léognan
Classification: 2nd wine of Château Mission Haut Brion
Blend: Merlot: 44.7%, Cabernet Sauvignon: 55.3
Aged 12 months in barrels, 30% of which are new.
Tasting notes :
Appearance : Beautiful dark garnet-red color.
Nose : The first nose is impressive, with red and black fruits. On agitation, notes of raspberry and blackcurrant dominate, underlined by a lovely woodiness.
The Palate: The attack on the palate is round and fleshy, appealing. The wine then develops a more pronounced tannic structure, but is juicy and rich in fruity flavors. The long finish is very pleasant, with aromas of freshly picked fruit and spice. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes respond to each other between the entry into the mouth and the finish.
Scores for the 2020 vintage:
Wine Advocate: 94/100
JancisRobinson: 16.5
James Suckling: 96/100
Climate of the vintage: Winter 2019/2020 is mild and wet. Vegetation started very early (it was the earliest year after 1989). In spring, regular rainfall was favorable to mildew, so we redoubled our attention. Flowering is very early and proceeds normally. From mid-June to mid-August, an exceptionally hot, dry period set in, during which we experienced three heat waves. As a result, we reduced our interventions, in particular leaf thinning, to preserve the integrity of the bunches and the freshness of the aroma. From August 11, regular rainfall allowed the grapes to perfect their ripeness. The white grapes were picked early and in excellent conditions. Temperatures are higher than normal for the season, perfect for completing the ripening of all the red grape varieties, which have returned to our vats in very good sanitary conditions.
