2021 La Sirène de Giscours · Margaux

Unwinding in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of blackcurrants, wild berries, violets and mint, the 2021 La Sirène de Giscours is medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a suave attack, ripe tannins and a long, perfumed finish. This charming wine will offer a broad drinking window. WA 89

2022 Château Giscours · 3. Grand Cru Classé · Margaux

With the 2022 Giscours, this estate takes another step up, delivering a deep and characterful wine redolent of cherries, dark berries, violets, peony and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, broad shouldered and layered, it's deep and elegantly muscular, with impressive concentration, abundant but refined tannins and a structural authority reminiscent of the great Giscours vintages of the 1970s. Why is it so good? There are many reasons, but one is the high proportion of old vines—almost 60% of the blend deriving from vines that are over 50 years old—in a vintage that favored vines with deep, well-established root systems. Another is the increasing precision of harvesting at this address: Giscours's old vines are frequently co-planted with younger replacements that have filled any gaps in the ranks over the years; so, blocks are now picked in two or three passages instead of all at once, with the younger vines picked first. WA 94-96

2022 Château Malescot St-Exupéry · 3. Grand Cru Classé · Margaux

Offering up aromas of rich blackberries, cassis, sweet spices, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, the 2022 Malescot St. Exupery is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a broad attack that segues into a layered core of expressive fruit that's framed by sweet, powdery tannins. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, this is one of the appellation's most flamboyant wines, but it retains good balance and boasts a healthy pH of 3.65. WA 93-95

2022 Château Croizet-Bages · 5. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac

Silky texture on the opening beats, clear depth to the black fruit, slightly drying tannins that just close things off on the finish but this has Pauillac typicity in spades, with charcoal, graphite and crushed rock character, great stuff. Jane Anson 92

2022 Château Rauzan-Gassies · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Margaux

A highly successful Rauzan Gassies that provides a understated, nuanced interpretation of the vintage, with waves of red rose and peony floral aromatics and toasted spice from the first nose. Has depth and concentration of black cherry and cassis fruits, and balances the flash of heat with plenty of white pepper and cinnammon notes, fresh lemongrass acidities and a lift through the palate. Impressive from the Quié family, and should be good value. Jane Anson 93

Château La Gurgue 2022 · Margaux · Biodynamique

Emphasis on Petit Verdot at La Gurgue, and this kicks off with black pepper spice, a ton of dark intense fruits, mushroom, undergrowth, edges of baked plum but also eucalyptus and mint, there is balance and interest here. 25hl/h yield, 3.6ph, harvest September 9 to 30. 15% new oak, 35% barrels of one wine, 35% in concrete eggs, 15% amphora for ageing. Jane Anson 91

Château Ferrière 2022 · 3. Grand Cru Classé · Margaux · Biodynamique

Tobacco leaf, raspberry puree, there is an appealing earthy freshness that really works alongside the concentration of the year. Ripe black fruits, balanced by mint leaf, avoids the baked fruit notes that are pretty widespread in the vintage, maintains lift and juice. Harvest September 12 to 30, 24hl/h yield. 35% new oak, 35% barrels of one wine, 20% in concrete eggs, 10% amphora for ageing. Jane Anson 93

2022 La Nature de Durfort-Vivens · Margaux · Biodynamique · sans sulfites ajoutés

‘’In a perpetual quest for natural balance and thanks to high-precision work in the cellar, i wanted to go even further by making a cuvée without any addition of sulfites. Therefore no more input disturbs the chemistry that naturally occurs between the terroir of Durfort-Vivens and its aromatic expression. Back to basics, back to authenticity ... This wine is called La Nature de Durfort-Vivens.’’ Gonzague Lurton, The Owner

2022 Château Durfort-Vivens · 2. Grand Cru Classé Margaux · Biodynamique

A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot, the 2022 Durfort Vivens is a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of minty dark berries, sweet plums, licorice and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with a deep and lively core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. WA 93-96

2022 Alter Ego de Château Palmer · Margaux · Biodynamique

A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Alter Ego de Palmer offers up aromas of cherries, wild berries and plums mingled with vine smoke and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, deep and brooding, with a layered core of fruit, lively acids and rich, powdery tannins, it's a gourmand, voluptuous wine that will offer a broad drinking window. WA 91-93

2022 Château Palmer · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Margaux · Biodynamique

The 2022 Palmer is a wine of sublime beauty and refinement. Silky, caressing and super-expressive, the 2022 is also one of the most surprising wines of the year in that it does not show the drought or heat of the growing season at all, either in its flavour profile or feel. 

Succulent black cherry, plum, leather, liquorice, spice and dried herbs lend notable complexity throughout. The 2022 starts off rather slow, and then really explodes on the back end. It is a magnificent wine in every way. Vinous 96-98

2022 Château Beychevelle · 4. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Julien

The 2022 Beychevelle was picked between 12 and 29 September at 36hL/ha and matured in 70% new oak.

It has an intense bouquet of black cherries, blueberries, and touches of cassis and violet. At this early stage, it is not as ostentatious as some other Saint-Julien wines but delineated and positively brims with energy. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit framed by beautifully sculpted tannins. The 2022 is very harmonious, satin-like in texture, and gently fans out toward the finish. It ends up being one of the most seductive Beychevelles I have tasted from barrel, one not to be overlooked. Vinous 95-97

2022 Château Langoa Barton · 3. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Julien 

The first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot vinification, the brilliant 2022 Langoa Barton offers up aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate endowed with terrific depth and tension. Polished and penetrating, it should match or even surpass the 2019 and 2016 vintages, and it is sure to be one of the more intelligent purchases of the en primeur campaign. WA 93-95

2022 Château Gruaud Larose · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Julien · Biologique

The progress at this estate continues with the terrific 2022 Gruaud Larose, a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc that unfurls in the glass with deep aromas of minty blackberries, violets and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's elegantly muscular, with a broad attack that segues into a concentrated mid-palate framed by supple, powdery tannins. Richer and more brooding than its 2020 and 2019 counterparts, it confirms Gruaud's return to the Saint-Julien élite. Around one-third of the production made it into the grand vin this year, the château's first with organic certification. WA 94-96

2023 Lions de Suduiraut · Bordeaux Blanc Sec · Sauternes

The 2023 Lions Sec de Suduiraut, a blend of 57% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Sauvignon Gris, possesses a varietal, fresh bouquet of herbs, lemon oil, spring flowers and white fruits. Juicy and tense with a moderately weighted mid-palate, it’s fresh and delicate with a delicately phenolic texture and a mouthwatering finish. WA 89

2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron · Pauillac

The 2022 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is the more serious of the estate's two second wines, with Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Merlot dominating the blend. Revealing aromas of dark berries, cherries, spices and pencil shavings, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with powdery tannins and a more structured profile than Les Tourelles. WA 90-92

2022 Château Pichon Baron · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac

An unusually gourmand, sensual wine from this estate, the 2022 Pichon-Longueville Baron bursts with aromas of crème de cassis, sweet dark berries, licorice, lilac and pencil shavings. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with excellent concentration and a rather rich, supple profile. A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, it's the result of sub-block by sub-block picking and cooler than usual fermentation temperatures. WA 95-97

2022 Château Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac 

The 2022 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is one wine where a comparison with this estate's magical 1982 doesn't appear to be far-fetched. Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of cassis, plums, violets, rose petals, tobacco leaf and pencil shavings, it's full-bodied, supple and fleshy, with a layered, seamless core of fruit that largely conceals its chassis of powdery structuring tannin. Concluding with a long, expansive and beautifully perfumed finish, it's a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that has the potential to equal or even surpass the 2019 and 2016 vintages at this address. It checks in at a very classical 13.6% alcohol and a rather high pH of 3.80. WA 97-99

2022 Moulin de Duhart · Pauillac 

Inky plum, this is packed with cassis and bilberry fruits, serious tannic architecture, tobacco leaf and sandalwood edging, with a wall of black pepper and rosemary spice on the finish. 15.5% press wine used, the most to date. Duhart Milon vineyard is looking at lowering density of planting because it can be extremely dry, so more challenging in these kind of years.
Jane Anson 90

2022 Château Duhart Milon · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac 

The 2022 Duhart-Milon unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cedar box, loamy soil, herbs and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety palate with a broad attack that segues into a lively, nicely concentrated core of fruit, concluding with a youthfully firm finish. WA 91-93

2022 Carruades de Lafite · Pauillac 

Aromas of sweet cherries and berries mingled with hints of cedar box, loamy soil, warm spices, violets and orange zest introduce the 2022 Carruades de Lafite, a medium to full-bodied, bright and velvety blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. WA 91-93

2022 Château Lafite Rothschild · 1. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac 

A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Lafite Rothschild unwinds in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, sweet soils tones, cigar box and lilac. Medium to full-bodied, it's the most tensile of the first growths this year, with a layered, concentrated but youthfully introverted mid-palate, lively acids and a long, saline finish. It checks in at a rather high pH of 3.85, which belies its incisive profile, from a harvest that extended from August 31 to September 24. WA 95-97

Garnet in color, a single swirl brings out its cornucopia of scents: flowers, currants, cherries, smoke, leather, lead pencil, Cuban cigar wrapper, orange rind and smoke. The wine is pure silky, elegance in texture. This is perhaps the most sensuous vintage of Lafite ever produced with its dream texture on the palate. In the mid-palate, the wine shifts from black to red to black fruits before moving to its wave of orange citrus, ending with refreshing mint notes. The purity in the fruits is striking. The over 60-second finish is seamless, which is a good thing, because this wine is so good, you never want it to end. The wine is complete from start to finish. The wine blends 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. It is interesting to note that the wine includes 17.5 % press wine in the blend, which sets a record for Lafite. 13.6% ABV, 3.85 pH. Harvesting starting August 31 for the young Merlot vines, for the grapes used in the Grand Vin, September 5, - September 23. Yields were 35 hectoliters per hectare. 40% of the harvest went into the Grand Vin. This is an earth-shattering vintage of Lafite that buyers with the disposabile income should add to their cellar. Drink from 2030-2065. Jeff Leve 99

2022 Château Haut-Bages Libéral · 5. Grand Cru Classé · Pauillac · Biodynamique

The 2022 Haut-Bages-Libéral is lovely, bursting with aromas of blackberries and cherries mingled with notions of orange zest, rose petals and violets. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with lively acids and a bright, chalky finish, its low pH of 3.54 reflects a decade of organic farming and the limestone subsoils that characterize this sector of Pauillac. WA 93-95

2022 Pagodes de Cos · Saint-Estèphe

A hit of olive, bitter chocolate and salted caramel opens things up here, along with brambled fruits and plentiful tannins. 3.72ph, 20% new oak. Harvest September 7 to 23. 33% of the crop used in Pagodes this year, instead of the usual 50%, with all the rest in the 1st wine. 33hl/h yield. Blend finalised early December. Jane Anson 93

2022 Château Cos d'Estournel · 2. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Estèphe

Inky colour with violet edging, this is full of intense damson, incense, baked plum and black chocolate. A huge quantity of tannins but the texture is velvety, giving a creamy edge to the fruits, with contrast and freshness provided by orange zest and slate. Some of the old Merlot vines on gravel were picked early to tame them but generally the vineyard took the vintage in its stride, and almost 75% of production is in the 1st wine. Harvest September 7 to 23, 33hl/h yield, 90IPT, 50% new oak. Potential upscore in bottle. Jane Anson 97

2022 Château Fonroque · Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Émilion

The 2022 Fonroque wafts from the glass with sweet aromas of blackberries, cherries, licorice and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate with vibrant acids, supple tannins and an intensely mineral finish. Farmed biodynamically for two decades under the direction of Alain Mouiex, this 17-hectare estate on the western extreme of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau has gone from strength to strength in recent vintages. WA 92-94

2022 Château Moulin Saint-Georges · Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, violets and creamy new oak, the 2022 Moulin St Georges is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with powdery tannins and a taut, chalky profile. It should flesh out further with additional élevage. WA 90-92

2022 Château d'Aiguilhe · Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux

Heavy clay soils before you hit limestone here, and the wine delivers unusual levels of sappy, pummice stone, juicy austerity for the vintage. Almost a granite edge to the tannins, floral aromatic intensity, bring blue and red fruits, and subtle spices of dill, sage and saffran. Excellent quality and value. 35hl/h yield, 30% new oak. Jane Anson 94

2022 Château Canon-La-Gaffeliere · 1. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Émilion

A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Canon la Gaffelière exhibits aromas of raspberries and plums, complemented by notions of iris, rose petals, incense and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's supple, suave and sophisticated, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish.
WA 94-96

2022 Mondot de Château Troplong Mondot · Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The 2022 Mondot is a somewhat different beast from previous renditions, as it now incorporates some newly acquired holdings, spanning a wider variety of expositions and altitudes, and includes Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon in addition to Merlot. All that explains why it is the best iteration of this bottling to date, and it is likely to number among the better values of the en primeur campaign. Bursting with aromas of mulberries, raspberries, incense and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a pure core of fruit, supple tannins and a lively, penetrating finish. Some 40% of the blend is maturing in tank. WA 92-94

2022 Château Troplong Mondot · 1. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Émilion

A wine that transcended both my lofty expectations and anything produced at this address in the last 50 years, the 2022 Troplong Mondot realizes all the potential of this striking terroir. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, exotic spices, bay leaf and orange zest, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with incredible concentration without weight, supple tannins and a seamless, complete profile, concluding with a long, saline finish. All the work of the last few years in the vineyards and winery makes itself felt, as Troplong Mondot's vineyards took the hot, dry conditions in their stride, and the quality of the fruit that they produced has been preserved by a gentle vinification and a discreet élevage, featuring only 55% new oak and some 20% of the volume in large foudres. WA 98-100

2022 Château Beauséjour · 1. Grand Cru Classé · Saint-Émilion

Just so good, so much uplift, direction and power, with vivid violet reflections to the ruby coloured fruit. Intense and concentrated on the opening, then a soaring limestone juice comes in through the mid palate, with the whole thing showing precision and character. A jumbled, joyful mix of blueberry, cassis, peony, roses, pummice stone and slate limestone, cocoa bean and coffee, showing real depth and seduction. This is always one of the wines that for me most leans in to the character of limestone, and you really feel the full impact in this hot year. Old vines 45 years average. Stopped all punch down during fermentation, now only soft pumpovers and infusion. Axel Marchal and Julien Viaud consultants. Highest Cabernet Franc percentage in the estate's history, and a full 40hl/h yield, 3.5ph. Potential 100. Jane Anson 98-100

2019 La Fleur de Rocheyron · Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

2022 Château Rocheyron · Saint-Émilion Grand Cru · Biologique

Stunning glass-staining colour, straight away this shows subtlety among the intensity of the vintage, with a slow build up of floral red rose aromatics, and the imprint of limestone that is expertly judged, balancing the energy that it brings with the exotic intensity of the ripe fruits. Creamy lush blackberry, raspberry and blueberry, expands through the palate, then contracts again as the pummice stone and saffron salinity comes in, each playing off the other. Get tension and grip, finishing with bitter orange peel and a smile. Worth noting that the blend is probably final, but Sisseck is not a winemaker to be bound by it if he feels something works better over ageing (worth noting also that the knowledge he says he gained from Ribero del Duero is that you have to be very hands off during fermentation in these kind of vintages because it is easy to go too far). 35% new oak, 32hl/h yield, 7.5ha. Axel Marchal consultant for past three years. 3.5ph. Harvest September 8 to 26. Jane Anson 98

2022 Château Figeac · Premier Grand Cru Classé A · Saint-Émilion

A blend of 35% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Franc and 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Figeac is a brilliant wine with which to celebrate this property's elevation to Premier Grand Cru Classé "A" status. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cassis mingled with notions of iris, forest floor, cigar wrapper and pencil lead, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and perfumed, with a deep and multidimensional core of fruit, bright acids and beautifully refined tannins. Serious yet civilized, it's the quintessential Figeac, testament to the late Thierry Manoncourt's vision to plant such a large proportion of Cabernet, and on drought-resistant rootstocks. Such is the inherent complexity of Figeac's terroirs that harvest took place sub-block by sub-block between September 1st and 25th. Congratulations are in order for the Manoncourt family, director Frédéric Faye, consulting winemaker Thomas Duclos and all their team. WA 98-100

2022 Château Bélair Monange · Premier Grand Cru Classé B · Saint-Émilion

Aromas of blackberries, cherry preserve, black tea and licorice introduce the 2022 Belair Monange, a full-bodied, deep and powerful wine with a layered, somewhat liqueured core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, expansive and slightly heady finish. Perhaps because the vines are younger, this is the cuvée in the Mouiex portfolio that shows the ripeness of the vintage the most this year. WA 94-95

2022 Château Latour à Pomerol · Pomerol

The 2022 Latour à Pomerol wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet cherries, red berries, licorice and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with a sweet core of fruit, polished tannins and a ripe but lively profile, this is a fine effort. WA 91-94

2022 Château La Fleur-Pétrus · Pomerol

The high point of the Mouiex portfolio this year is the beautiful 2022 La Fleur-Pétrus, a wine that derives from a number of prime clay-gravel parcels on Pomerol's plateau. Wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis and cherries mingled with hints of orange zest, pencil shavings and toasty oak, it's medium to full-bodied, ripe and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, perfumed finish. Seamless and complete, it will offer a broad drinking window. WA 94-96

2022 Château Suduiraut · 1. Cru Classé · Sauternes

The 2022 Suduiraut reveals a deep, complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, caramel, spices and mango. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and mouth-coating, it’s long and fleshy with great depth at the core and a long, mineral, orchard fruits-inflected finish. Entirely crafted from Sémillon and matured for 18 months in barrels (70% were new barrels), this is a classic in the making and a superb Sauternes. This has 190 grams per liter of residual sugar.
