Fruity but also intricate, this has a good level of complexity on the nose, showing black cherries, plums, fine spices and a touch of iron and dark chocolate. Plump and round with some nicely chewy tannins and a fleshy, ample finish. Flavorful and pretty long. A pleasant St.-Emilion that already shows early appeal. Drink or hold.

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.

The 2022 La Confession is a dark, powerful wine. Dark fruit, leather, espresso, clove, licorice and heavy torrefaction notes abound. La Confession offers good depth and plenty of structure. Readers will find a bold, extroverted Saint-Émilion with tons of immediacy and exuberance.

Spicy red and black fruits, new leather, flowers, and incense notes all shine in the 2022 Château La Confession, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, complex, elegant 2022. I like it already yet see no reason this shouldn’t evolve nicely over the coming 10-15 years or so. The blend is 70% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec, raised in 50% new oak.

The 2022 La Confession offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, mint chocolate and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate built around powdery tannins. Its élevage remains front-and-center for the time being.

The Wine Independent

A newly promoted grand cru classé château, in the hands of Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this opens with a nose of lightly dried dark cherry, with currant, dark chocolate and leather. The palate is fresh and bright, with a dense core of dark cherry, currant, chocolate and toast following the lead of the nose, with a lightly warm and spirity note to the midpalate, and a rich and dense backbone of tightly knit tannins which wrap themselves convincingly around the finish and length. This is really quite modern in style, with an ambitious extraction, and a warm and peppery length. If that’s your style, go for it.
