Château Lamothe-Bergeron 2022

Cru Bourgeois Supérieur

55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 2% Petit verdot

The colour, a deep garnet with dark highlights, impresses with its intensity and brilliance.

The bouquet seduces with its aromatic richness and balance between power and freshness. It combines notes of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry), sweet spices, liquorice and cocoa, enhanced by a touch of blond tobacco and aromatic herbs. When aerated, delicate floral accents and a hint of menthol appear, bringing liveliness to the nose.

The finish is full-bodied and smooth, supported by a solid yet elegant structure. The frank and juicy attack reveals vibrant fruit, followed by fine, perfectly polished tannins. The balance between density, freshness and mineral tension ensures beautiful energy. The long, persistent finish reveals nuances of red and black fruit, spices and a subtle smoky touch.

A complete and harmonious wine that brilliantly expresses the typical characteristics of Haut-Médoc in this exceptional vintage.

Tasting notes & awards

through the eyes of the tasters

From the spring onwards, the 2022 vintage was particularly early, with budburst around 15 March for the Merlot, flowering at the end of May and veraison at the end of July. Several climatic hazards combined with this precocity influenced the vintage: a frost episode on April 3, a hailstorm on June 3 and a dry and hot summer that lasted from the end of May to mid-September.
