Notre Collection Châteaux
Château Haut-Bruly 2022
A tiny production just 12 000 “or so” bottles, this property is firmly in the garagiste camp. The wine is sourced from just 2.36 hectares of vineyards, located on a top spot of the south-eastern part of the Saint Emilion plateau. The vines are only Merlot with vine age typically 25 to 30 years. A superb wine.

Advice
Serving
Serve at room temperature.
On the palate
Liquorice, ink and orange peel on the palate along with pepper and spice. Rather soft tannins, this wine has a big extraction for the full and ripe fruit to live up to. There is an appealing texture, with a little freshness, this is delicious stuff.
Food pairings
This is a perfect partner for red meat, such as lamb or beef. But it is also great on its own.
Reviews
"Dark cherries, graphite and a touch of tar, smoked herbs and black spices. Fruity then lightly chewy on the palate with a firm grip at the end. Slightly attenuated but should be better in two more years when the wine unwinds with more length and the tannins round off further." [+]
