THE SEASONS:
2022 was an outstanding year! Despite weather conditions going from one extreme to the other, the vineyard thrived under the skill, agility, and ingenuity of our Bordeaux artisan wine-growers. This alchemy between people and the terroir gave rise to a precious vintage, a fourth dimension inviting us behind the looking glass.
« I could never have imagined how incredible the results would be. This vintage surpasses all known points of reference. » ; « my recommendation is simple: buy as much as you can, as soon as you can. » - Jean Marc Quarin
James Suckling : « exceptional » « balance and harmony » « exceptional fruit and freshness as well as fine and intense tannins » « impressive filigree and harmony».

THE WINES:
Red wines:
The remarkable Merlots present exceptional potential. The hallmarks of this grape variety are that it is fruity, smooth and balanced!The Cabernet-Francs are appealing due to their elegance and intense aroma. This contributes towards the freshness and equilibrium of the wines.
The Cabernet-Sauvignons enjoyed the driest and hottest weather of the year. Distinguished and elegant, they present a remarkably powerful tannin structure.
Despite the extreme and atypical weather in 2022, the conditions were favourable to the vegetative cycle of the vine. The result is harmonious, balanced wine full of freshness which express the full majesty of the grands vins de Bordeaux.
Dry white wines:
Despite weather conditions which were generally less favourable than in 2021, the dry white wines were surprising. The nature of the terroir played a key role and enabled the production of remarkable wines on clay and clay-limestone
soils. The Sauvignons present an unusual aromatic spectrum, ranging from lemon zest to exotic fruits. They are marked by their precision.
Meanwhile, the Sémillons developed aromas of yellow-fleshed fruits. They are flavourful, balanced and persistent.
Sweet wines:
Patience was the watchword here. Because the grapes were harvested late, the musts were exceptional, with unpre- cedented concentration, richness and depth. This will enable the production of prodigious wines for laying down for a long time, presenting a balanced intensity of taste.
