The 2022 Château La Clotte is another serious wine in the lineup. Mulled black cherries, liquid violets, spicy wood, and smoky, chocolaty nuances are just some of this wine’s nuances, and it’s medium full-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It’s one hell of a gorgeous Saint-Emilion that deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for two decades.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Beautifully ripe yet fresh, with ink, graphite, paprika, lush dark cherries, minerals and cocoa powder. Full-bodied and firm yet open-grained, with polished tannins and a very long finish. Drink from 2027.

The Wine Independent

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from the Vauthier family of Ausone, the fruit sourced from vines planted on deep limestone rock on the plateau and slopes to the east of the town, and the élevage was in 100% new French oak barrels, for 18 months. Sweet and fragrant black cherry fruits on the nose, with layers of damson, blackcurrant, rose petals, white peach and orange peel. Very pure and delineated on the palate, with defined raspberry and black cherry fruits, with the same fragrant expression as seen on the nose, wrapped up in a richly knit blanket of tannins. This holds together beautifully, and displays a wonderfully harmonious finish with great length too. Very impressive – a serious and also delicious member of the family’s portfolio in this vintage. The alcohol on the label is 14.5%.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 La Clotte has turned out very well in bottle, offering up aromas of cassis, cherries and incense framed by a deft touch of toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, it's pure and seamless, with a lively spine of acidity and a long, saline finish. This small four-hectare estate on the outskirts of Saint-Émilion is establishing itself as one of the gems in the Vauthier portfolio.

Vinous Media

The 2022 La Clotte is very, very young. Dense and packed to the core, the 2022 is going to need a number of years to be at its best, as it is quite raw today. Intense dark red fruit, cedar, tobacco, mint and dried flowers open with some coaxing. A healthy dollop of Cabernet Franc (15%) adds aromatic presence while lending salinity to the mid-palate and finish. The 100% new oak here is evident.
