Chateau Brane Cantenac Margaux 2022, 6 x 75cl

The weather was exceptionally favourable for quality in 2022. The winter was mild with relatively little rain. The growth season in the vineyard was particularly dry and hot, characterized by more sunshine than usual, significantly less rain (-25%) and three successive heatwaves. 2022 is the hottest year ever recorded. The early start of the harvests was a major feature of the 2022 vintage. However, the harvest period, which is determined by daily tasting as the grapes ripen, lasted more than a month. New vines and vines under 10 years old were harvested and vinified separately. Extraction from the small berries was very carefully controlled to produce full-bodied, dense and immensely long wines with rich and velvety tannins. At Brane- Cantenac, they also have a superb freshness thanks to the perfect balance between alcohol content and pH. The highest ever percentage of press wines was incorporated into the wines in 2022: their quality was remarkable.
