Christian Balog beschreibt den Wein wie folgt:
Schöne dunkle Frucht, sehr klar, ein wenig Würze und Kräuter. Im Mund ebenfalls klar und frisch, die Tannine sind fein und nur zart adstringierend. Mittlerer Körper, aromatisches Finale. 88-90 Punkte
William Kelly zum La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion 2021 Pessac Leognan (April 2022):
Aromas of dark berries, rich spices, loamy soil and new oak introduce the 2021 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming wine with an enveloping core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins that gently assert themselves on the finish. While it can't match the polish and elegant of La Clarence de Haut-Brion this year, it's a fine second wine. 90-92 Punkte
