2022 Bordeaux - best ever?!

Château Figeac

Château-Figeac is one of the most renowned vineyards in St Émillion. The property has been classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé A since 2022. It doesn‘t get any better than that.

As is so often the case, today‘s fame was preceded by a rich history.

Château Canon

The terroir of Canon is one of the best in the whole of Saint-Émilion and the vineyard is one of the most traditional and important. After extensive replanting, the quality has once again reached the top.

Château les Carmes Haut-Brion

In 2010, the French tycoon Patrice Pichet purchased Château les Carmes Haut-Brion with the aim of making it into a real gem nestled in the heart of Bordeaux.

Château Lafite-Rothschild

There are supposed to be people who have no interest whatsoever in wine. And even they "of course" know the name "Lafite-Rothschild" and know that it is one of the most famous wineries of all. Some may also have picked up that a bottle from the estate of Thomas Jefferson fetched a price of 160,000 dollars at an auction in 1985.

Château Troplong Mondot

Château Troplong Mondot was founded in the 18th century. More recently, it was the late Christine Valete who helped the château to new fame with her commitment from the 1980s onwards. Together with oenologist Michelle Roland, she led Troplong Mondot to the top. This was followed in 2006 by the promotion to the Premiers Grands Crus Classés.

Château Léoville Las Cases

Château Léoville-Las-Cases was classified as 2ème Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Julien in 1855. The vineyard is located in the immediate vicinity of Pauillac and belongs to the small group of those that would have deserved to be upgraded to Premiers Crus.

Château Montrose

In the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on the banks of the Gironde, lies the Deuxième-Grand-Cru-Classé-Château Montrose. Wine was only cultivated here comparatively late, since 1815. Almost 200 years later, the entrepreneurs Martin and Olivier Bouygues acquired the vineyard and invested with the aim of preserving the historic Bordeaux heritage.

Château La Conseillante

300 years ago, Catherine Conseillan acquired the estate in Pomerol, renovated it and expanded it to twelve hectares. This property has been farmed since 1871 by the Nicolas family, who have taken the wine to the First Growths of Pomerol.

Château Pichon-Longueville-Baron

Vor rund 200 Jahren gab es an der Grenze von Pauillac zu Saint-Julien nur ein Weingut mit dem Namen Pichon-Longueville. Es gehörte Jacques de Pichon, Baron de Longueville, dem ersten Präsidenten des Parlaments von Bordeaux sowie seiner Frau, deren Vater Pierre de Mazure de Rauzan den Grundbesitz im Jahr 1660 erworben hatte. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Besitz aufgeteilt.
