I loved the 2022 Clos Du Marquis which is a brilliant effort if not the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted. Cassis graphite and floral notes all define the bouquet and it's full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins and flawless balance. It shows the ripe concentrated powerful style of the vintage yet is incredibly pure and seamless with everything in the right places. It's going to round into form with just a few years of bottle age but have decades of prime drinking.
vJames Suckling: 95-96 Points
Structured and fluffy with a blanket of fine tannins. Full-bodied yet agile and floating. Juicy at the end. Excellent finish. Lots of lead pencil and crushed stone at the end. 45.5% merlot 44.5% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc.
Wine Advocate: 93-95 Points
"We've never seen such refined Cabernet Sauvignon at this property" says Jean-Hubert Delon of the 2022 Clos du Marquis and the resulting wine is certainly unusually suave and expressive bursting with aromas of cassis plums orange zest violets and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied ample and fleshy with excellent concentration supple tannins and a long mouthwatering finish it will likely offer a rather broad drinking window. Reviewed by: William Kelley

The 2022 Clos du Marquis was picked from 8-30 September and is matured in 53% new oak with 14.25% alcohol. It is very perfumed and high-toned on the nose. The 2022 is floral and powerful with black cherries and blueberry fruit perhaps not quite the delineation almost pastille-like. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins fresh with pleasing mineralité. This remains linear and tensile toward the finish with graphite lingering on the aftertaste. Excellent.
