Wine Description:
La Chapelle de Bages is the second wine of Château Haut-Bages Libéral, a fifth Growth property in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc, located in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France. The grapes come from younger vines on the estate and from vineyards located further inland, away from the river. The winemaking is focused on careful blending to achieve a style that while still worthy of cellaring is more approachable in youth with a less foreboding structure. The wine shows impressive complexity having been aged for a minimum of 12 months in French oak barrels, a moderate proportion of which were new. The provenance of the fruit and the technical winemaking result in highly enjoyable wine that is a reference point for the region and a charming glass of wine in its own right.
Pros:
  • Second wine of a Cru Classe estate

Cons:

Wine Expert Note:

La Chapelle de Bages Pauillac shows a deep ruby color that leads to a gently aromatic nose of cassis and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with refreshing acidity and firm tannins cutting through the richness of the cassis fruit. The long finish shows both graphite and cedar complexity. This wine will gain leathery complexity with 10 years of cellaring and will continue to be enjoyable for a further 5 years. Enjoy with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, or aged cheeses.
