En Primeur 2022 New Release: Clos Cantenac

Read moreWith the team back from En Primeur in Bordeaux, Senior Fine Wine Buyer, Robert Mathias, talks us through the Bordeaux 2022 Vintage. There are some remarkable wines that number among the best ever produced at certain estates, but style can vary from château to château.
After a week of visiting properties and tasting hundreds of wines, it is clear that Bordeaux 2022 has produced some truly remarkable wines, which defy expectations of such a warm and dry vintage. In truth, both the growing conditions and the wines themselves have more than a touch of drama. Far from a tragedy - in many cases - this vintage is something of an epic.
