Chateau La Grange St Julien Grand Cru 2022

THE VINTAGE The vines’ impressive resilience on the property’s gravelly terroirs was not even pushed to its limit by the unique weather conditions of 2022! Once again, we have proof that the vine plants possess the necessary resources to face challenging, sometimes extreme, weather conditions. The cool, refreshing nights had a buffer effect on the extraordinarily high daytime temperatures in this the hottest ever vintage on record in Bordeaux. The grapes were quite unique, small, concentrated and ripe with a disconcerting acidity. We harvested little but great ! We are privileged to be able to write some of the most remarkable pages of the Domaine’s history: the fact is that Bordeaux has probably produced the greatest vintage of the last fifty years TASTING NOTES A polished and expressive St.-Julien that shows spot-on balance. Fresh blueberries, wet stones, currants and a touch of red berries. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, chalky tannins that are firm but dissolved. Quite precise, juicy and focused. Beautiful balance and length. GRAPES 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot
