As in 2021 a mass of cold air hit the region, leading to severe frosts on 1st and 2nd April. The impact was significant with a 40% loss in our yield. However, having pruned part of our vineyard late, several hectares were fortunately saved, as well as some vines that had not yet started to bud. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom May onwards, high temperatures favoured resumption of the vines' growing cycle, and the vintage's sunny character. Flowering occurred rapidly with the strong sunshine, two weeks earlier than in 2021; the cycle then accelerated due to the heat and some rain in early June. The phenological stages ensued rapidly over the month of June. The first heat wave occurred in mid-June, leading to water stress. At the end of June, we had thunderstorms with some hail in our area. Between 5 and 30% of our vineyard was affected, depending on the plot. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe summer was hot and dry, with two further heat waves in mid-July and early August. Temperatures exceeded 40°C. Some rainfall in mid-August enabled the vines to withstand this very dry year and helped ripening. Only young plants started to show signs of severe stress. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe started harvesting for the dry whites early, on 18th August, breaking all our records. The grapes were beautiful with a very good level of acidity. \u003cbr\u003eWe finished harvesting the gravelly plots on 23rd August, and followed up with a slightly more clay-heavy area from 24th to 27th August. The harvest of the dry whites ended on 31st August with the plots on the Yquem hillside, which are later-developing terroirs. It took 12 days in all to harvest this dry white vintage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTasting note \u003cbr\u003eA pale yellow colour, Lions de Suduiraut Blanc Sec 2022 presents an open nose on white flowers and citrus fruits, then with aeration it evolves towards notes of passion fruit and a mineral touch. \u003cbr\u003eThe attack is round and fresh, the delicious mid-palate reveals notes of pink pomelo, pear and roasted hazelnut. \u003cbr\u003eThe finish is persistent with aromas of hazelnut, pear and a marked saline side.

Under his time at Masseto and Ornellaia, the two brands grew in respective strength with individual identities. His new releases command some of the highest prices in Italian wine and are sought after by collectors worldwide. Axel oversaw the construction of the new Masseto winery, and he launched a second wine called Massetino (new vintages of both are reviewed here).

November was about 3 degrees colder than average and so the set was variable, especially Mauvedre which suffered the worst. Luckily, many varieties still had quite a large potential crop, so yields ended about 15% down from 2021 (which was a big crop year). December was bone dry, but January saw 33mm compared to 20mm average. This too set the vines up very well. There was almost no rain and very mild conditions in February, March and April, free of hot or cold spells which resulted in very good leaf retention and ripening. All varieties resulted in outstanding wines. At this stage, It is early to call the vintage but I believe the reds from this vintage are the best I have seen in years. They show great colour fruit, fruit fragrance, richness, acidity, tannins and style. The Red skins were very thick and crunchy and no shrivel was seen, resulting in high tannin content, causing us to pull juice off the skins sweeter than usual, to achieve the desired results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Winemaking\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for this wine is sourced from the cool climate Adelaide Hills. Small batches of grapes are gently crushed, chilled, and then transferred to stainless steel basket presses. Gentle extraction of the juice is critical in these early stages to retain the delicate fruit characters. To add complexity and mouthfeel, a small percentage of the wine is partially fermented in aged French oak for two to three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Characteristics\u003cbr\u003eExtremely vibrant and limpid colour shows a great level of finesse and freshness. On the nose, exuberant aromas of passion fruit,\u003cbr\u003ezesty lime, pineapple, wet slate and herbal notes. On the palate is where everything sets it apart. Tropical fruit flavours like passion fruit, pineapple and lychee are intertwined with a crisp and fresh minerality. The acidity is well balanced bringing the right amount of freshness without making the wine astringent. The finish is long and savoury adding subtle notes of asparagus and cut grass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40355652337728,"sku":"WHAU20221388","price":44.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/d-arenberg-broken-fishplate-sauvignon-blanc-750ml.jpg?v=1757063731"},{"product_id":"lismore-barrel-fermented-sauvignon-blanc-2021-750ml","title":"Lismore Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc 2021 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBright and fresh with lively citrus, passion fruit, and floral notes.

The wine is approached and made in an ?oxidative\" style. Older 600 litre barrels were used for the fermentation and maturation bringing forward richness, intense fruit and complexity. 15% of the production was fermented in 600 litre egg shape tanks. In both the barrels and the eggs, extended less contact contribute further to the rounder mouth feel and creaminess of this elegantly textured wine. As with all Lismore wines, balance is the key. The bracing acidity that is customary in new world Sauvignons has been brought into balance with a carefully chosen pick date and the barrel and egg fermentation and maturation. A full bodied, balanced wine was the goal. \u003cbr\u003eThis wine is an extraordinary accompaniment to fine cuisine with some of the world?s top chefs choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40411314552896,"sku":"WHZA20211118","price":64.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/Lismore-Berrel-Fermented-Sauvignon-Blanc_a1a1e9b6-f1be-4fb1-9533-bf7249a3dec2.jpg?v=1706759719"},{"product_id":"dog-point-marlborough-sauvignon-blanc-2022-750ml","title":"Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a stunning example of Marlborough's signature style, offering a fresh and vibrant profile with notes of nettles, thyme, green apples, and grapefruit.

When the Bernard family purchased Domaine de Chevalier in 1983, the vineyards amounted to only 20 hectares: expansion followed in the woodlands (much of which remain) that occupy this site, on the same stony gravel and black sand over iron-rich clay that defines the estate's historic vineyards. It's a cold site in winter, surrounded by trees, but warm in summer, as the stones reflect heat and the black sands absorb it. Farming is now organic and biodynamic, with experiments with cover crops and unhedged canopies, and drainage to improve more humid parcels. Sauvignon Blanc is planted in the estate's coolest sites, Cabernet Sauvignon on its warmest, and everything else is planted in between. Since 1983, Domaine de Chevalier has naturally evolved: as new plantings came online, the wines lost some of the intensity-without-weight that had always been their signature; in the early 2000s, a concerted effort was made to attain fuller maturity and more concentration, and the wines became a little chunkier and more obviously oaky, too; but recent years have seen a return to seamless elegance, without any loss of depth or persistence. In many respects, indeed, the last few vintages of Domaine de Chevalier bear a closer stylistic kinship to the great wines produced at this address in the 1970s and before than they do to the vintages of the early 2000s. Olivier Bernard and his team, in short, are to be congratulated for ushering in a new golden age at an estate that produces one of Bordeaux's most singular and characterful wines.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJames Suckling \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Feb 1, 2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery pretty with lovely apple, cream, lavender, pineapple and light honey.

Rain was sparse but frequent during the growing season. There were just two weeks of sustained rain in June (72 mm). However, these conditions made it potentially difficult to keep the vines healthy. The high relative humidity in the air created very favourable conditions for downy mildew. Our vineyard teams succeeded in main¬taining healthy foliage to ensure good-quality ripening of the grapes and a successful harvest.\u003cbr\u003eThe vines flowered between the 31st of May and the 5th of June in good conditions, with no signs of coulure or millerandage.\u003cbr\u003e2023 was markedly different from the previous vintage in terms of temperature. In 2022, there were very early heatwaves. In 2023, we had just one real heatwave, between the 17th and the 24th of August, the period when the grape skins mature, becoming thinner and more sensitive to the com-bined action of high temperatures and sunshine.

Medium- to full-bodied, it’s dense yet remarkably fresh and precise, with a crystalline, ethereal profile. Both aromatic and concentrated, it combines depth with clarity, concluding with a long, ethereal and perfumed finish. Once again, this is a fine success and surely one of the most precise white wines produced in Bordeaux this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sc-goWbiv loNZbm\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLocated in the gravel, sandy soils of Pessac-Léognan, Domaine de Chevalier today spans 67 hectares and operates with a quiet sense of control. When the Bernard family took over in 1983, the vineyard counted only 20 hectares; expansion followed into the surrounding woodland, much of which still frames the estate, planted on the same Günzian gravel and black sands over iron-rich clay.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a site of contrasts: cold in winter under its forest canopy, yet warm in summer as stones reflect heat and darker soils retain it. Sauvignon Blanc finds its place in the coolest sectors and Cabernet Sauvignon in the warmest, with the remaining varieties in between. Farming is now organic and biodynamic, with cover crops, drainage work in humid parcels and high canopies—sometimes managed without hedging—forming part of the approach.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the cellar, the direction remains measured. The reds are destemmed and see gentle extraction, with long macerations and restrained pigeage. The whites undergo long pressing, followed by barrel-fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wines spend their first year in barrels, modestly new-oaked, followed by racking and further élevage in older wood. The whites are bottled under Diam technical closures to ensure consistency.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSince the 1980s, the style has shifted in phases. Early replanting led to a loss of the estate’s historic intensity and weight; the 2000s pursued greater maturity and more evident oak. Today, the wines return to a more seamless expression—discreet, structured and persistent—closer in spirit to earlier decades.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJancis Robinson \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJR 16.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Apr 16, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e70% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sémillon. 38 hl\/ha.
