CHÂTEAU DE LAMARQUE ~ VINTAGE 2022
Chateau de Lamarque 2022 by Pierre-Gilles Gromand d'Evry:
"Château de Lamarque 2022 shows a very precise maturity thanks to perfectly healthy vines.
Therefore, the tannins are silky and mellow; generous and round without heaviness; it offers a juicy body, with the balance of an elegant acidity.
The robe has a profound red carmine color with purplish tints; the wine bouquet shows black fruits (blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants) also present on the pallet with noticeable spicy and pepperish notes thanks to the 16% of Petit-Verdot in the blend. The wine gradually evolves to a long caudalie where the black fruit aromas come back to life. Beautiful potential ageing capacity."

Il est le plus grand vin produit sur cette propriété devant le 2018 actuellement si bon à boire. Couleur noire. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, mûr, pur. Nuance subtile de gelée de mûres. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, très bien construit, jamais aussi raffiné au toucher, avec un corps juteux et dense, le vin évolue sur une longue finale savoureuse, au goût de fruits noirs. Quel plaisir et que de chemin parcouru. Bravo !

"Tight tannins, plenty of structure edged with cloves, black pepper, orange peel, damson, black cherry. A good vintage of this wine, with serious architecture, will take its time to come around. Intense and concentrated in colour, feels finessed and balanced with a ton of Cabernet typicity, and a big imprint from the Petit Verdot in its black pepper spice and smoked raspberry leaf. Manges to walk the line between ripe concentration and keeping those tannins tamed and in character. One to look out for."
Jancis ROBINSON: 16,5 / 20 poinS
"Dark-fruit notes with a touch of spice. Supple fruit on the palate with dark-fruit fragrance. Fresh and not overplayed. Tannins firm and persistent. One of the best from this estate at this stage."

JEB DUNNUCK: 89-91+
"Plenty of cassis and raspberry fruits as well as tobacco and spice emerge from the 2022 Chateau de Lamarque, a medium-bodied, pure, elegant 2022 with fine tannins and a great finish. My money is on this easily being an outstanding wine".
Markus del monego mw: 93 points
"Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Well defined nose with distinct smoky minerality, fine toasting, hints of cocoa and pencil shavings in the background. Complemented by ripe dark berries and juicy plums. On the palate well structured with full-bodied character and very good length, ripe yet quite firm tannins, juicy fruit and fine minerality. A wine with promising potential."

Jeff Leve FOR THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: 91-93 POINTS
Peter Moser for FALSTAFF: 93 points
"Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicate orange zest and herbs, dark cherries, ripe plums, a touch of fine oak. Juicy on the palate, ripe cherries, integrated tannins, good freshness, present and fruity in the finish with good length. Certain ageing potential."
