2022 Chateau La Clotte, St.-Emilion Grand Cru (6 x Bottle)
This is a wine that is worth watching every year right now, growing in confidence, precision, flesh, and terroir character. Brilliantly fleshy plum and raspberry fruits, chocolate, salinity, with a charred coffee bean edge. Harvest September 8 to 27. Conversion to organic farming began in 2020. 100% new oak, and new equipment in the winery, with smaller-sized vats. Great stuff from the Vauthier family.

The 2022 La Commanderie is better from bottle than it was en primeur. Bold and exuberant, with lovely forward fruit, La Commanderie has plenty to recommend it. Dark fruit, leather, espresso, lavender and dried herbs are front and center. I admire the wine's forward, inviting personality.

The 2022 La Clotte was picked 8 to 27 September and aged for 18 months in French oak. It has quite a floral bouquet with a light marine/briny tincture in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, fine acidity, some oak to be assimilated but it has a gorgeous creamy texture. Certainly a step up from the 2021, this is a fine La Clotte that should drink well for 15 to 20 years.
