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. The area's unique terroir, with gentle slopes and a wide variety of gravel, stones, sand, limestone, and clay soils, make it perfect for the production of Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux wine. 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.

£1,000.00 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (96-98)The 2022 L'Extravagant de Doisy-Daëne, pure Sémillon as usual, is deceptively backward on the nose. The action is on the palate: unctuous honeyed fruit counterbalanced by fine acidity, extremely pure with layers of wild peach, apricot, figs and marmalade on the long finish. Despite its power, it comes across with tenderness and grace. Chapeau Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu. It's outrageous in all the best ways. |

This is the first year being certified biodynamic from Demeter and furthermore, La Lagune is always excellent in hot years. |

La Louviere
(6x75cl)

|
Bordeaux | - | 92 (JA) |
In Bond
£1,000.00 |
||||
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (92)A shade lighter than many in the appellation, still clear ripeness to the plum colour, this is enjoyable, not quite as much depth as some but that actually fills a gap in this vintage, where there is a lack of unfussy, well balanced, good quality wines that won't need a pick axe to get through the tannins. Measured extraction here, raspberry fruits, raspberry leaf, tobacco, white pepper spice, sticky tannins but overall a feeling that they are not pushing too hard and rather sticking closely to the estate signature. Jacques Lurton heads up this fast-improving estate. |

2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 92 (JA) |
In Bond
£1,000.00 |
||||
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (92)Pale gold in colour, this has enjoyable yellow peach and white pear fruit character, some tart acidities that cut through the fleshy ripeness of the vintage, with gunsmoke and cut grass aromatics - capturing more varietal signature than many in the vintage. Owner Jacques Lurton. |
|||||||||
La Mission Haut-Brion
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 98-99 (JS) |
In Bond
£1,590.00 |
||||
James Suckling (98-99)This has real al dente fruit character on the palate with lemon rind and blackcurrants with blueberries. Lead pencil and stone, too. Full-bodied with chewy and juicy tannins that are primary and growing quickly on the palate as you taste it. Reminds me of the 1978, but brighter and more precise. 51.7% cabernet sauvignon, 43.2% merlot and 5.1% cabernet franc. |

Labegorce
(6x75cl)

|
|
Bordeaux | - | 95 (DC) |
In Bond
£166.50 |
||||
Decanter (95)Fairly tannic but super cool and fresh too with cola and blueberry nuanced. Chewy but really juicy, an approachable fun and easy wine still with bite, tang, juiciness and tannic density. Very appealing still with bite. Not as dense and weight as some, but wow there's a lot to like; gorgeous acidity, textured and well defined tannins, lovely punchy fruit and a long length. Delicious, still with a minty, graphite and clove lift on the finish. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.6pH. Ageing in 40% new oak. Harvest 12 September 12 - 5 October. Tasted twice and loved it both times. |

James Suckling (99-100)A classical Lafite that reminds me of something like the 1986, with its blackcurrant and tobacco character with cedar and hazelnut, but it's so today with its purity and precision. It's really about being Lafite here. Terroir gives great elegance with strength. |
|||||||||
Lafon-Rochet
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 95-97 (VN (AG)) |
In Bond
£202.50 |
||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95-97)The 2022 Lafon-Rochet is fabulous. Once again, Lafon-Rochet is the most elegant wine in Saint-Estèphe. There's a bit more richness and mid-palate intensity than in the past, likely a combination of the year and the approach of the new team headed by Technical Director Christophe Congé, who was formerly at Lafite-Rothschild. The 2022 signals a new era for the château that is likely to see a greater focus on selection and a slightly richer style. Even so, the signatures of Lafon-Rochet are evident. It's an exciting time. |
|||||||||
Lagrange
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 95-97 (VN (NM)) |
In Bond
£229.50 |
||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (95-97)The 2022 Lagrange was picked between 8 and 30 September, it ages in 60% new oak for a planned 21 months. It has an almost clinical bouquet, with very well defined blackberry and blueberry fruit, graphite and crushed stone. Quite a gap in quality between this and the Fiefs de Lagrange this year. The palate is extremely pure with cashmere tannins, black cherry fruit infused by blood orange, lightly spiced, hints of white pepper toward a very concentrated, fine-boned finish. This will require several years in bottle, but it will be worth waiting for. A serious and very able Lagrange that should not be under-estimated. |

Bordeaux | - | 92 (JA) |
In Bond
£1,000.00 |
||||
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (92)Firm slightly drying tannins, grilled smoked leather, fleshy blackberry and raspberry fruit. The tannins close things in on the close of play, narrowing through the palate, emphasising bitter orange and saffron, with slate and liquorice. Struggles to gain balance, but it gets there, and is a well constructed wine with Left Bank signature. 33% new oak barrels for ageing. |

Bordeaux | 1 | 96-97 (JS) |

James Suckling (96-97)Deep fruit, dark spices and graphite with wide yet polished, linear tannins. Full-bodied and intense with depth and structure. Long and chalky at the end. Big wine. |

(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 93 (JA) |
In Bond
£1,000.00 |
||||
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (93)Deeply coloured, fleshy damson, high extraction, edges of aniseed and fennel, black pepper. This is good quality with texture and tannins that hold things in place, adding relief and interest, definitely one of the ones to look out for in Haut-Medoc. Five generations of women owners, and now also with Basile Tesseron, ex-Lafon Rochet. |
|||||||||
|
|
Bordeaux | 1 | 94 (JA) |
In Bond
£152.50 |
|||||
Jane Anson Inside Bordeaux (94)Deep plum colour, velvety in texture, this is gorgeously measured while still being glamorous and polished. Gives you clear promise of future enjoyment, with its chocolate-dipped cherry notes that are full and welcoming but not hot or overly sweet, balanced by blueberry and bilberry fruits that give a mix of ripe and just-ripe-enough fruit with sufficient juice to carry them home, and a clear tannic construction that isn't constricting. It's marked by the vintage, with some drying notes on the finish, without being overpowered by phenolics, and is a deft handling of the year. 50% new oak, 35% one year barrels, 15% terracotta amphorae for part of the Merlot. |

£1,000.00 |

James Suckling (95-96)This is solid with dried pineapple, grapefruit and apple character. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and depth. Phenolics are all there. Serious. 86% sauvignon and the rest semillon. |
|||||||||
Lascombes
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 93-95 (JD) |
In Bond
£365.50 |
||||
Jeb Dunnuck (93-95)The 2022 Château Lascombes is a ripe, powerful wine that holds onto a terrific sense of purity and freshness. Black fruits, smoky oak, lead pencil, and tobacco all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. A killer bottle of wine, it’s going to benefit from short-term cellaring. Tasted twice. |
