Lot #63. La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion 2009

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94 WA.
"Tasted at Christies' Boardroom dinner from an ex-chateau bottle. Now with three of four years in bottle, the 2009 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc serves up a delightful white Pessac-Leognan. It has a slightly paler colour compared to the Haut-Brion Blanc served alongside. The bouquet is complex with attractive lime flower, lemon curd and heightened marine influences (cockle shell and seaweed.) The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, spicier than I recollect with a twist of ginger towards the sensual finish. This is a superb, long-term white Pessac-Leognan." Neal Martin's Wine Journal May 2014
Provenance: The Foxy Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $170
