Keep an eye on Bordeaux 2022!
At Theis Bordeaux tasting in Copenhagen, on September 6th, we hade the pleasure of tasting the Bordeaux vintage 2022 as well as some other fantastic wines. The vintage 2022 is truly remarkable with an excellent quality. In addition to the fine wines the setting it very good. There are few times you have the ability to try as many outstanding wines as on this fair.
Most producers had one wine from 2022 and another from an older vintage. On these older wines we found several with a nice development. However, the main spotlights were all focused on the 2022 vintage. Some of the very best wines, not in order, include:
- Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2022, but their vintage 2016 is also excellent.
- Ch Clinet 2022 as well as their 2018 vintage
- Ch Leoville Las Cases 2022
- Ch la Conseillante 2022
- Ch Pichon Longueville Comtesse 2022
- Ch Pontet Canet 2022
- Domaine Chevalier 2022
In addition, on the sweet side we must mention:
- Ch Coutet 2022
- Ch Suduiraut 2022 as well as their vintage 2016
In summary, the vintage 2022 is excellent and shows great potential for the future. It will be very interesting to follow it’s development.
