Bordeaux 2022 En Primeur - Left Bank
The Left Bank of Bordeaux is located on the west side of the Gironde River and is home to some of the region's most renowned wineries.

Among the famous communes, Pauillac, St-Julien, and Margaux are home to prestigious estates like Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Margaux, Château Haut-Brion, Châtea Léoville Las-Cases, Château Ducru Beaucaillou, and Château Palmer, among others. Many of these blue-chip wineries from the Left Bank are considered excellent names to keep in a long-term portfolio.

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2022 La Garde has a very appealing nose: blackberry, briar and light bay leaf scents unfold in the glass. The oak is beautifully integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, gentle grip and fine balance, although it loses some vigour in the glass, causing me to reduce my score. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)Always solid, the 2022 Château La Louvière is no exception. Ripe black cherries, currants, chocolaty oak, and scorched earth notes all give way to a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated Pessac-Léognan that has plenty of background oak, terrific mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. Based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, drink bottles over the coming two decades or so. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)As to the Grand Vin, the 2022 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is pure perfection, and it's as seamless, pure, and layered as they come, while still bringing incredible intensity and richness. Smoky red and black currants, leafy tobacco, scorched earth, as well as a hint of violets, all define this incredible wine, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, velvety sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a gorgeous finish. I love this sexy, opulent, straight-up heavenly wine today, yet it can be drunk with incredible pleasure any time over the coming 50+ years. Reminding me of the 2009 and an undeniable candidate for the wine of the vintage, the 2022 hit a solid 14% alcohol with a lofty pH of 3.95. |
