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.

Latour
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Bordeaux | - | 100 (JD) | HK$1,000.00 | ||||
Jeb Dunnuck (100)A blend of 92.45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.4% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2022 Château Latour reminds me of the 2009 (with a hint of the 2010), with possibly even more finesse and elegance. This deep purple-hued Latour offers a truly sensational bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, liquid violets, and crushed stone, with a subtle youthful hint of graphite. It’s a rich, thick, incredibly concentrated, and full-bodied 2022 that brings the depth and density of the vintage while staying sensationally pure, focused, and precise, with plenty of tannins as well as good acidity. It’s up there with the finest young wines I’ve ever tasted. It probably won’t hit true prime time until two decades after the vintage, and this is one of the just about immortal wines that will keep for 75-100 years. It’s as Latour as Latour gets, and hats off to the team of technical director Hélène Génin and CEO Frédéric Engerer! |
