Around the Corner

It’s been quite a while since we mentioned 2022 Bordeaux. The biggest issue for us was obtaining an ample supply of the wines to sell in this low-production vintage. Some allocations were only available in bottles, and many not even in full cases. The list below is all that remains from a campaign that is easy to see is largely sold out. Fear not, as we have some of the best wines of the vintage, with some excellent values still available, but not for long, including potential 100 pointer Figeac (98-100 WA), “a brilliant classic in the making”; Grand-Puy-Lacoste (95-97 WA) – a 6 pack for just $450; and some highly regarded seconds, sharply priced, including La Dame de Montrose, “a second wine that would embarrass numerous classified growths” (92-94 WA).

The vintage was marked by two key points – quality and quantity. The former was very high, and the latter was not. For fans of recent years like 2018 and 2020, this will be another year to add to your cellar. Richly polished and with truly exceptional depth, the wines will have long age ability, but they will offer up great potential in their youth to capture a window into the future. We are marketing these now as we should receive our first batch of these wines before Thanksgiving. We will receive another shipment in January, so the bulk of the wines will be in house very soon!
