Bordeaux Tasting with Terre de Vins 2022

Bordeaux Tasting 2022, the 11th edition by Terre de Vins

Once again on Saturday and Sunday the 10th and 11th of December, Terre de Vins assembled a broad and exemplary sampling of Top French Wine and Spirit producers. Two “foreign outsiders” presented their wines : Disznókö, from Hungary and Caiarossa, from Italy. On this beautiful weekend Beverage Industry Professionals were able to meet and taste selected wines from more than 190 producers and more than 16 Spirit Houses. For those of us who had attended this annual December event in the past, it is a landmark tasting that presents the beverages the producers want to show.

Maitre de Cave dedicated its time to tasting wines from Bordeaux. our team evaluated more than 150 wines and found the quality to be in the good to exceptional range, between 85/100 and 95/100 points. The following is a list of the wines we rated above 90 points. We found these wines to not only have high quality, but they were all excellent values in the current market.

Among the « Gands invités »de Terre de Vins

We visited few wine booths, but we enjoyed to stop by the Beaujolais place, with Château de la Chaize. This estate seems to develop a huge change, from the vine-plantations, the cellar up to all the features and communications around Château de la Chaize.

2024 Bordeaux Vintage Report

Weather statistics tell an interesting story about climate and grape growing. This year’s weather statistics show clearly how this year’s unusual weather patterns shaped the quantity and quality of the 2024 Bordeaux wine production. The relationship between weather conditions and wine quality is a key focus, as each season’s behavior leaves a lasting impact on grape growth and, ultimately, the character of the wine.

Exceptional Bordeaux Primeurs 2023

The wines included on our list of exceptional wines are divided equally among Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot dominance and Left Bank and Right Bank production. We would recommend reading through all the tasting notes available to you on the 2023 vintage and make any decisions based on that research. Quality, as well as inferiority, were spread evenly throughout the vineyards of Bordeaux in 2023.

Exceptional Wines Bordeaux Primeurs 2023

We tasted almost the same number of wines that we tasted last year, and the average score is approximately the same. So, neither of the variables, quantity of wines tasted and average score, impacted the results from the 2023 vintage. The reason there are so many more Exceptional Wines is that the 2023 vintage is significantly better than the 2022. The best wines in 2023 are better, achieved higher scores, than the wines in 2022, and there are more wines that achieved an exceptional level of quality.

Bordeaux Primeurs Vintage 2023

The 2023 Bordeaux vintage will be successful, with good to exceptional quality attained in all regions. As usual, it was a difficult vintage.

2 Days Adventure for Wine Lovers, still wines and sparkling

Terre de Vins Bordeaux Tasting has been one of my favorite annual events during the last decade. Every December, as a Maitre de Cave blogger,  I reserve the weekend to make certain I can experience Bordeaux during the holiday season and two days of exciting wine and spirit tasting.

Following is a list of my favorite wines at the Tasting and their Ratings:

Grape Harvest 2022 – California

Overall, the growing season of 2022 has had very few heat waves and none of more than three or four days.  My main concerns with the Godello this year was the smaller number of clusters per shoot, as it relates to my goals to achieve a certain number of gallons to fill a wonderful Austrian oak cask. It was specifically to age to Godello in the methods I witnessed in Valdeorras Spain.
