La Chapelle de Haut-Bages Liberal - Pauillac 2019

Created in 1988 by the mother of Claire Villars-Lurton, who was at that time in charge of the vineyard, La Chapelle de Haut-Bages Libéral reflects another aspect of the exceptional terroir on which the vines grow.

The vines that give birth to La Chapelle are younger and exalt the minerality known from Haut-Bages Libéral as well as the crunchiness of its fruit, marked by black cherries.

Like the Grand Vin, La Chapelle is composed mostly of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its very smooth tannins make it an accessible wine to be soon enjoyed, combining fruitiness with great elegance.

Organic and biodynamic (Demeter) certified. 

Aged for 12 months including: 40% in barrels of one wine, 40% in amphoras and ovoid tanks, 20% in new oak barrels.

"The 2019 La Chapelle de Haut-Bages Liberal is bright, sculpted and super-transparent. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice and rose petal are nicely lifted. The 2019 was aged 60% in barrel and 40% in cement eggs, which gives the wine freshness and cut. La Chapelle is atypical for Pauillac, but very pretty and compelling just the same." - 90 Points, Vinous
