The 2022 vintage in Margaux
Vintage benchmark: 98/100 (appellation benchmark, not a score for this wine)
Vintage character: Three heatwaves and extreme drought gave, against all odds, wines of exceptional concentration without harshness — the great sun-drenched year.
Overall reading of the year’s season across Margaux. An estate can depart from it sharply, in frost or hail years, where two neighbours did not make the same vintage. What this particular wine actually gave is on its technical sheet and in the scores above.
Blend of the 2022 vintage

- 30 % Merlot

Shares for this vintage, as recorded on the 2022 technical sheet. The vineyard itself is planted with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot — a vintage blend departs from the area under vine as the year dictates.
