The 2022 vintage in Saint-Estèphe : Totally unprecedented !
The 2022 Vintage in Saint-Estèphe !
The colour, the tannins, the texture and the balance we saw during the harvest period he seemed to promise a vintage of spectacular quality. Six months on, the wines are living up to that promise ! Already a record-breaking vintage which witnessed the earliest ever harvest, 2022 produced wines of exceptional quality, endowed with remarkable smoothness and balance.
The clay-rich subsoil of Saint Estèphe, combined with the smart choices made by the winegrowers, played a major role in this victory. The grapes were relatively small on account of the heat and the lack of water, but they nevertheless achieved a degree of maturity and concentration that was quite simply astonishing.
