The substance is also exceptionally intense and long on the palate, taking this wine beyond the usual bounds of this appellation. Even at this stage one could situate this sample in the wider spectrum of great white wines showing texture and ageing capacity in the tradition of this estate's best vintages.

There’s aThe 2022 Durfort-Vivens is a wild, exotic wine that very much shows the natural opulence of the year. Super-ripe dark red/purplish fruit, pomegranate and sweet spice are front and center. There’s a bit more Merlot in this year’s blend, and that seems to come through in the wine’s overall fruit intensity. The final blend is project to be 70% new oak and 30% amphora, but the sample I tasted was only taken from oak components, as the wine had only been racked into amphora shortly prior to this tasting.

This is a more closed and mineral-soaked wine on the nose and front end of the palate than La Gurgue (from the same owners G&C Lurton). However, there is so much action on the back of the palate it takes the breath away. Nicely balanced and bone dry, this requires time, but the nose, as always, tells the truth, and this will end up being a fine, honed, leaner style of 2022 than many with a blackberry theme and discreet oak.

Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's elegantly muscular, with a broad attack that segues into a concentrated mid-palate framed by supple, powdery tannins. Richer and more brooding than its 2020 and 2019 counterparts, it confirms Gruaud's return to the Saint-Julien élite. Around one-third of the production made it into the grand vin this year, the château's first with organic certification. Rating: 94-96 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Apr 2023)

Classified this year as Grand Cru Classé - they are displaying all the grandeur and suave sophistication you would hope for. Impressive feel, lovely core of ripe and yet juicy dark berries, morello cherry flesh and a scent of dried petals too adds refinement. There is a good, chalky scrape of uber-fine-grained tannins. Clean, cool lines carry the delicious fruit load forward with great energy and finesse. This will unfurl nicely over the next 5-10 years.L&S (Apr 2023)

The yield was 30 hl/ha in total, divided between the two wines, with some sold off in bulk. This feels like classic 2022 on the nose, with a core of dried currants, dried red cherry, wild strawberry and dark chocolate, tinged with violets. It continues with a quite delicious accessibility on the palate, with layers of dark chocolate-coated cherry fruits, dusted with black pepper and crushed chalk, and a nicely integrated ribbon of squeaky clean tannins wrapped all around its middle. It finishes savoury and gripped, with a spicy length. An accomplished second wine which won’t take too long to come around. The alcohol is 13.53%.
