The vineyard of Château chêne liège 2022

276.60  Tax included

The vineyard of Château chêne liège is composed of two grape varieties 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.

The vines of 45 years on average benefit from a terroir among the best exposed to the sun of Pomerol. The grapes of this vintage are nourished here by a terroir made half of clay and the other of gravel. The whole rests on a basement of iron grime. This makes it possible to obtain after vinification, following the blending of fine, elegant and very racy wines. Her deep dress is black.

Quantity: 6 bottles

The conditions of the Millésime
Unlike some years, 2022 is shaping up to be a technical vintage to mitigate the effects of the climate. As for yields ranging from 20 to 55 hectolitres/hectare
In 2020 I noticed on my vineyard and among my three names that there will be quite different wine profiles, depending on the terroirs, cultivation methods and rootstocks, I could see in my case that the plant did not react in the same way from one plot to another.
It is a vintage in contrast, colorful and powerful, between fruity and spicy. It will be a vintage of personalities following the wine and oenological itineraries chosen by each, I think that today it is imperative to adapt and accompany climate change.
