Tasting notes
The 2022 Le Châtelet has a nicely detailed bouquet of dark berries, cherries and spices mingled with mulberry notes. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and charming, it's seamless with good depth at the core and a long, lively, charming finish. This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, all planted near Beau-Séjour Bécot and Clos Fourtet, is an attractive, sensual wine.

The 2022 Château Le Chatelet has a well-oaked nose of ripe red and black fruits, chocolate, leafy tobacco, and crushed stone. This carries to a beautifully concentrated, pure, medium to full-bodied Saint-Emilion that has a broad, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish.
80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. 15% of the wine is aged in amphora. Julien Berjal’s 3.18-ha property up on the plateau just west of the town. Cask sample. Exciting wine. Deep crimson. Heady nose. Really rather voluptuous with a lot going on underneath. Massive energy and so sumptuous! Tannins just wave weakly, almost drowned out by the meticulously guided fruit. Really impressive. Long. (JR)
Well balanced, fully ripe black cherry and blackberry fruit, bitter chocolate on the finish, this is on the muscular side, with soem heat. 40% new barrels
