Bordeaux En Primeur 2022

The 2022 growing season is well remembered as a year of extremes in terms of heatwaves and drought, yet as we made our way through the Bordeaux’s Left and Right Banks, the words “surprise,” “unexpected,” and “adaptation” were a continuous refrain to try to explain the aromatic vibrancy and freshness in the wines. After tasting through hundreds of barrel samples, we can conclude that although the 2022 vintage is not uniformly excellent across each and every estate, it has undoubtedly produced some of the most thrilling wines of remarkable power and elegance that we have ever tasted en primeur.
