Domaine de Cambes 2022
Domaine de Cambes 20220035046 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $95.00 TASTING NOTE : The 2022 Domaine de Cambes offers tons of saline, infused energy and tension. Crushed rocks, menthol, white flowers and chalk all run through this nervy, nuanced Bordeaux. Time in the glass brings out lovely inner sweetness and perfume to play off the wine's mid-weight sense of structure. All the 2022 needs is time. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Drinking window: 2026-2037. Score - 91-93. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com)

Still fresh with a pH of 3.45. It's nicely framed with phenolics. A blend of 70% sauvignon blanc, 15% semillon and 15% muscadelle. Score - 95-96. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com)

Château Le Pin Beausoleil 2022
Château Le Pin Beausoleil 20220035892 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $39.00 TASTING NOTE : The 2022 Le Pin Beausoleil is fabulous. Bright, vibrant and explosive, the 2022 is packed with dark cherry fruit, pomegranate, blood orange, mint and spice that saturate the palate. I can't think of too many other Bordeaux wines I would rather drink than Le Pin Beausoleil. The blend is 70% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking window: 2025-2037.

Les Perrières 2022
Les Perrières 20220035084 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $129.00 TASTING NOTE : The 2022 Les Perrières de Lafleur shows just how adapted this higher-altitude site on the plateau of Fronsac is to warmer vintages. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and raspberries, sweet spices and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with racy acids and a taut, mineral profile. It's another brilliant effort from this visionary project. Score - 94-96. (William Kelley, robertparker.com)

Château Alcée 2022
Château Alcée 20220034697 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $37.00 TASTING NOTE : The 2022 Alcée was picked at 22hL/ha between 14 and 22 September without Cabernet Franc in the blend. Now, the limestone terroir comes through brilliantly here - you can just smell that rock percolating through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, fresh and very well balanced, certainly one of the more intellectual Right Bank wines in this vintage. Perhaps not a wine destined to garner mass appeal, instead, a 2022 for 'Castillon diehards'. Drinking window: 2030-2055. Score - 92-94. (Neal Martin, vinous.com)

Château d'Aiguilhe 2022
Château d'Aiguilhe 20220035233 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $42.00 TASTING NOTE : Rich and intense nose, concentrated with dark bramble fruits. A shot of sharp intense strawberry and raspberry fruit hits the palate, super succulent and instantly mouthwatering, quite lean and linear though there is a nice expansion of fruit flavours while the tannins stay quite firm and straight. Touching on austere and severe but the softly plump juiciness keeps this enjoyable and there is layering of elements. Acidity is on the prominent side but this is quite captivating with crunchy, bright, just-ripe red fruits and chalky texture on the finish. Yield: 35 hl/ha. 30% new oak barrels. Drinking window: 2024-2036. Score - 94. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)

Château Montlandrie 2022
Château Montlandrie 20220035219 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $49.00 TASTING NOTE : Focussed and so fine, the tannins are beautifully detailed and so well integrated giving this bite and cool freshness straight away with a crushed stone flavour and texture on the palate. Feels crisp and fresh, blue fruits, mint and slate. Delicate and very fine, almost weightless with such a silky overall texture. Maybe missing a tad more density and plushness but there's no faulting the cool aspects and well worked tannins. A nice easy juicy expression, really very approachable still with terroir markers and a sense of charm now. I love this, smooth, easy, refined. Classy and elegant. Ageing in 50% new oak. Harvest 8 September - 23 September. Drinking window: 2026-2039. Score - 93. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)

Château Roc de Cambes 2022
Château Roc de Cambes 20220035045 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $129.00 TASTING NOTE : Mingling aromas of sweet cherries and cassis with notions of licorice, espresso roast and spices, the 2022 Roc de Cambes is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a broad-shouldered profile, framed by powdery tannins, and concluding with a chalky finish. This is always the most structured wine in the Mitjaville portfolio. Score - 92-94. (William Kelley, robertparker.com)

Château La Prade 2022
Château La Prade 20220034696 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $32.00 TASTING NOTE : Juicy and fun, this has a playful edge that's really enjoyable, a sweet, mouthwatering cherry and blueberry flavour with tannins that are textured like ripe grape skins, fleshy and filling. Plump weight yet this remains still quite direct and focussed. Good energy and persistence with layers and bitter, minty, herbal spice on the finish giving the lingering and lasting impression, but well made. Really so effortless in the glass, appealing, full, weighty, lovely concentration - tannic strength but finesse and cool juiciness all the way through. Great quality and value. Tasted twice. Harvest 14 - 29 September. Ageing 16 - 18 months; 40% new barrel, 40% one wine (225L and 500L), 20% cement.Derenoncourt consultants. Drinking window: 2025-2034. Score - 93.

Château Puygueraud 2022
Château Puygueraud 20220034695 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $32.00 TASTING NOTE : Ripe and cool blue fruits on the nose with an appealing salty minerality. Supple and lean, excellently textured though, straight and sharp with bite and tang to the fruits but carefully controlled leaving you wanting more. Great energy, bounce and freshness. Really enjoyable if super clean, lean and austere right now in the powdery sensation that's left on the tongue as well as the oyster shell minerality. Easy drinking with elegance and an appealing juicy kick on the finish. Tasted twice. Harvest 7 - 29 September. Ageing; 16 - 18 months; 30% new barrel, 30% old barrel, 20% cement. Derenoncourt consultants. Drinking window: 2025-2032. Score - 93. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)

Ripe but crunchy with well integrated velvety tannins. Lingering and textural at the end. One of the best from here. Score - 94-95. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com)

Château Fontenil 2022
Château Fontenil 20220034885 (XD) 13% Alc./Vol. 750 mL $49.00 TASTING NOTE : Richly concentrated nose full of perfumed bramble fruits and wild flower scents. Full-bodied, deep and supple on the palate but it walks the path between lean and plush, giving a balanced overall weight and density. Cool blue fruits are joined by crushed stones giving refreshing elements while the sticky liquorice, dark chocolate and clove spice edge the finish. Well constructed, a little tense still and just constricting some of the easy enjoyment at this stage but lots of promise for future drinking pleasure. Harvest 8-17 September. Ageing in French oak, 30% new. Rolland & Associés consultants. Drinking window: 2023-2042. Score - 92. (Georgina Hindle, decanter.com)
