2022 Chateau Joanna

This entry level Bordeaux offers a window into the quality of the outstanding 2022 vintage, one which Vinous critic Neal Martin states “two thousand twenty-two witnessed the birth of legendary wines and unbeatable value-for-money….” . And Jeb Dunnuck also lends his lofty praise of the vintage “This is an extraordinary vintage that will go down in record books as one of the all-time greats….. It’s possible to discover sensational wines from small châteaux and lesser-known appellations at surprisingly affordable price points.”
Whilst certainly not one of the vintage’s legends, this blend of 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, without a doubt delivers fantastic value featuring rich blackcurrant fruit that shows ample flesh.

A rich, generously endowed Bordeaux from the outstanding 2022 vintage that delivers great value.

Deep black dark red core with a dark red black tinged hue. Ripe red to black currant and liquorice aromas fill the nostrils followed by some earth, cigar box and spicy dried herb notes. The mid weighted palate is awash with rich, concentrated blackcurrant fruits with notions of liquorice, earth, toasty vanillin cedar, subtle black olive and spicy dried herb characters unfolding across the back half. Fleshy yet grainy mouth feel with a sturdy tannin structure leading into a long amply fruited finish that has a robust feel.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
