Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion是Chateau Haut-Brion是東側隔壁鄰居,而且也同屬於Domaine Clarence Dillon家族集團旗下。La Mission Haut-Brion莊園創立於16世紀,在十七世紀成為修道院的產業,因而獲得La Mission(傳教會)之名;法國大革命時教產被充公拍賣,本酒莊輾轉經過多個主人之後,1983年現在的業主Dillon家族將它購置下來,並且經由重新種植葡萄園、整建酒莊和釀造設備等大幅整頓,將本莊的素質提升到前所未有的高度,在Pessac-Léognan產區裡其品質和聲譽僅次於Haut-Brion。
旗下26公頃的葡萄園紅白品種都有種植,都是依照土壤的特性選擇適合的品種。紅品種的園區是深厚的礫石覆蓋在黏土和砂質土上,種植比例是Cabernet Sauvignon 45.8%、Merlot 43.8%和Cabernet Franc 10.4 %,高比例的Merlot讓它的紅酒風格豐盈又有甜美的果味,因而人氣高漲不下。

The 2016 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is blended of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot and 21.5% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it absolutely sings of red roses, black tea and tilled black soil with a core of crushed blackberries, Morello cherries and cassis plus a hint of cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of ripe black berries and floral layers, framed by soft, silken tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced.
