BORDEAUX 2022

“I have never come across anything like the 2022 vintage. It was one of the hottest and driest growing seasons in the history of France’s most famous wine region, yet it produced thousands of opulent and structured but still fresh and balanced wines…For me personally, it sets a new benchmark for Bordeaux.”
James Suckling

“Looking at the wines, there is clearly a common theme of ripeness and power, yet they hold onto a sense of freshness as well as complexity…There is an incredible diversity in the style of the final wines regarding their density, structure, and overall balance due to differences in yields, terroir, and winemaking. But make no mistake, the top wines are rich, powerful wines that bring beautiful fruit as well as substantial, velvety tannins.”
Jeb Dunnuck

“The 2022s are some of the most memorable young wines I have ever tasted in Bordeaux. The best 2022s are magnificent, viscerally thrilling wines that show what is possible with thoughtful approaches to viticulture and winemaking.”
Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“The best examples show surprising freshness and supreme charm with a large number of wines that are both immensely appealing and approachable but will also age.”
Decanter

“Bordeaux has produced some monumental wines in 2022…at its best, this is a vintage of remarkable concentration, energy and harmony.”
William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

“The consistency of quality is just one surprise to come out of this vintage of extremes. The other amazing twist is the styles. There is a luminosity to many of the wines from 2022 that defies what we thought we knew about Bordeaux varieties. It whispers previously untold truths about the potential of the region’s terroirs and vines in the face of climate change.”
Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW

“One thing for sure is that 2022 is a vintage that will be referenced for many years to come, and I’ve tasted many exceptional wines that are truly worth getting excited about.”
Jane Anson

“The 2022 vintage contains what I often refer to as “snow-capped peaks.” If you want to get numerical, wines that may eventually merit perfect scores that I rarely give out. The crème de la crème is blessed with kaleidoscopic aromatics, intense fruit, finely-sculpted tannins, structure, elegance and length. Above all, contrary to what the growing season implied, they are suffused with freshness. They immediately tempt you back to the glass for another sip. The highest performers will dazzle. They will be extroverts, show-offs whose talent cannot be denied. They’re not warbling Neil Youngs. They’re Freddie Mercury strutting the stage. The best will rock you.”
Neal Martin, Vinous
