Bursting with aromas of raspberries, violets, warm spices and rose petals, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy, tensile profile and a long, intensely mineral finish. Les Perri?res de Lafleur is compelling testimony to the primacy of vine genetics over age, as the Cabernet Franc here is a mere 3-4 years old and the Merlot 7-8, yet the resulting wine already boasts incredible intensity and character.

Estate Director Jean-Michel Laporte commented that he sees it as a combination of 2018, 2019 and 2020, though better than those vintages. The 2022 has a tightly knit bouquet, crisp and clean, a little \"cooler\" in style than I recall and I mean that in a positive way. It neatly shrugs off the warmth of that growing season. There's wonderful purity of fruit here, tinged with tobacco and light chimney soot scents. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit?a quintessential Talbot, with a little more horsepower than recent vintages but fine precision and structure on the finish. I appreciate the finesse of the tannins and the weight throughout this Saint-Julien. - Neal Martin\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eChateau Talbot \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e France \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSubregion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSaint Julien\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux Blend \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e16211\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e1.5L\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612896850287,"sku":"16211","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/16211-chateau-talbot-st-julien_1.jpg?v=1789056347"},{"product_id":"connetable-de-chateau-talbot-st-julien-2022-750ml","title":"Connetable De Chateau Talbot St Julien 2022 750ML","description":"\u003ch4\u003eConnetable de Talbot Description\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e4th Classified Growth of Saint-Julien,  Ch?teau Talbot  is one of the emblematic references of the M?doc.

Today, 51 hectares are in production for an average total production of 200 000 bottles ? Chateau Rauzan- S?gla and its second wine S?gla. The winery has been adapted and large vats progressively replaced by smaller capacities ? matching the parcels' sizes. From the 2004 picking on, grapes will be sorted on two 10-meter long vibrating tables, so that each single berry is checked before entering the vats.

This period was known as the Grand Siecle, or \"great century\", in reference to Louis XIV's 1661 accession to the French throne. In 1689 Pierre Desmezures de Rauzan, an influential wine merchant and steward of the prestigious Latour and and Margaux estates, bought plots of vines close to the Latour estate to create Enclos Rauzan. These vines were part of his daughter Therese's dowry when she married Baron Jacques Pichon de Longueville in 1694, the year in which the Pichon Baron estate was founded. An illustrious estate, with an enduring reputation, was born. It remained in the same family for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1850 the property was divided in two. Baron Raoul Pichon de Longueville's section became the Pichon Baron estate. The second section, belonging to his three sisters, became Pichon Comtesse. Baron Raoul was proud of his prestigious property, and in 1851 he commissioned the imposing chateau inspired by Renaissance architecture that we know today. This uniquely charming and romantic chateau, with its two emblematic turrets, has stood proudly at the vineyard's heart ever since. During the Universal Exhibition of 1855, the wine was classed as a Second Grand Cru Classe according to the ranking system requested by Emperor Napoleon III, who wished to showcase Bordeaux's great wines. In 1933, the Pichon de Longueville family sold the property to the Bouteiller family, who managed the chateau for over 50 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1987 the estate was bought by AXA Millesimes, whose aim is to enable great wines from the vineyards with a glorious past to achieve their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eJeb Dunnuck: 98 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Ch?teau Pichon-Longueville Baron is young and unevolved, with a barrel sample-like feel, offering cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and incredible purity.

There's more freshness and vibrancy here than in the past, along with a noticeably lower oak imprint and more sensual tannins that lend notable sophistication throughout.

Unwinding in the glass with a deep and brooding bouquet of cassis, wild blueberries, violets, pencil shavings and burning embers, it's full-bodied, deep and dense, somehow marrying all the tannic authority that has long been such a signature of Montrose with a suavity and purity that represents the quintessence of contemporary Bordeaux.

With incredible purity and precision in its aromatics, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, powerful, yet still somehow elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. Based on a classic blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, it spent 18 months in 60% new French oak. As I wrote during En Primeur, it has the essence of a Montrose-like character. While it?s not a massively backward or austere example of the ch?teau, it nevertheless deserves 10-12 years of bottle age and should have at least half a century of longevity. It is, without a doubt, in the same league as the 1989, 1990, 2003, 2009, 2010, 2016, 2018, and 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eVinous: 100 Points\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Montrose is insanely beautiful.

But the 2022 is packed with tremendous density and concentration that will need time to soften. Blackberry, graphite, licorice, lavender and chocolate stain the palate in a stunning, riveting wine of the very highest level. I can only hope to be around when the 2022 starts to drink well!

Fragrant with chocolate, tobacco, cedar, cinnamon, crushed stones and liquorice. Aromatically very inviting. Plush and sapid, tannins are ripe but the acidity gives it real tension so you get some intensity of texture and sharpness of fruit on the palate making it a bit serious and tense right now though with lovely detail and lots of precision in terms of tannins and fruit. Mouthwatering acidity is at the fore, really giving some zing and electricity to this while the crushed stones, liquorice and clove spice give the accents around the edges. Clear strength and concentration, such power underneath - you do feel the heat from the alcohol (15.4%!) but the acidity and soft mineral elements help keep the balance and frame though it?s not as demonstrably mineral as some years.

Even with all of the heat and drought of the year, Canon retains its essential, highly refined personality. - Antonio Galloni\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eChateau Canon \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e France \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSubregion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSaint Emilion\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVarietal\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e Bordeaux Blend \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eVintage\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSku\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e16594\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e ","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612899864943,"sku":"16594","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/16594-chateau-canon-st-emilion-premier-grand-cru-classe_1.jpg?v=1789056398"},{"product_id":"chat-cap-de-faugeres-cotes-du-castillon-2022-750ml","title":"Chateau Cap De Faugeres Cotes Du Castillon 750ML 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e Producer Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe little brother of Péby Faugères and Faugères, Château Cap de Faugères, with 20 hectares of vines, is located in the pretty commune of Sainte Colombe, in the Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appellation.\n\nIt benefits from superb clay-limestone slopes that are an extension of the terroir in St.-Émilion, worked by the same team with the same rigor and passion.\n\nThe terroir is expressed in each vintage, offering wines that can be enjoyed at a relatively early age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grapes The Wine Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52612899897711,"sku":"16596","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/4947\/2879\/files\/16596-chateau-cap-de-faugeres-cotes-du-castillon_1.jpg?v=1789056399"},{"product_id":"carruades-de-lafite-rothschild-pauillac-2022-750ml","title":"Carruades De Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 750ML 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eChateau Lafite Rothschild’s second wine, Carruades de Lafite, presents similar characteristics to the Grand Vin, but with its own personality linked to a higher proportion of Merlot and to specific plots that are used to produce Carruades.
