This vintage isn’t just unprecedented, it’s extraordinary, in the most literal sense of the word. Called "the Majestic vintage", since its outstanding characteristics propel it into another domain, an unparalleled one. Perhaps never before in the history of the estate, have they come so close to the ideal of excellence that guides and inspires them.
2022 is beyond all comparison. It imposes itself majestically.
The wine exhibits a lively, deep, dense, dark purple colour. The aromas were carefully preserved throughout the vinification process and display a vast array of fresh black fruits and an intensely floral side reminiscent of violets.
Smooth and juicy but also delicate and precise on the palate, the 2022 reveals the hallmark freshness and verticality of the Cabernet Franc.
The oak is already well-integrated, allowing crisp, flavoursome ripe fruit to come to the fore.
A long and spicy finish, underpinned by silky, tight-knit tannins. The wine’s flavours linger long in the mouth, seemingly never wanting to end.
This vintage is rich in salinity and complex and has great tension and freshness. It shows the immense capacity of the Angelus terroirs to adapt to climate adversity.
