Heady and evocative notes on the nose, really perfumed and aromatic fruit and flowers with quite toasted edges of clove, tobacco and cedar. Juicy, clean, fun and friendly – tannins have a powdery texture that coats the mouth just covering the red berry juiciness although the acidity adds a nice lift and this ends clean and crystalline. There’s lots of concentration and ripeness here, a powerful base driving the wine, but it’s also restrained and graceful giving so much charm and approachability. I like the soft mintiness throughout and the wet stone minerality on the finish. Calm and collected. Easy to like.

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.

Appellation

Margaux

The Margaux appellation of France's legendary Bordeaux wine region is one of the world's most famous and highly respected viticultural areas. For centuries, Margaux has been deeply associated with extremely fine wines of the highest quality, made using traditional and time-honored techniques in order to extract the very best, most refined and elegant flavors and aromas from the Bordeaux varietal grapes which grow there. Margaux wines are almost always blended, using two or three key Bordeaux grapes, commonly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (amongst others). The blending techniques and quantities have been passed down through the generations in the ancestral chateaus which make up the region, and quality and prestige has never been allowed to falter, making Margaux one of the undisputed jewels in France's already glittering crown.

Smoke, berries, ripe plums, currants, roasted spices and a touch of citrus on the nose. Fluid, poised and nimble on the palate, showing well-judged extraction and fine-grained tannins. Chalky, juicy and pretty long. A bit more approachable than many, but give it one more year. Drink from 2026.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Desmirail confirms my expectations for it during the en primeur tasting. Revealing a complex, elegant bouquet of flowers, dark wild berries, mulberries and spices mingled with delicate notes of sweet berries, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and enrobing with velvety, delicate tannins and a long, ethereal and violet-inflected finish. This blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc is a real success and retains enormous appeal.

Wine Spectator

Dense and velvety in feel, this lets nearly exotic mulberry, açaí and boysenberry reduction notes unfurl slowly, laced liberally with singed black tea, alder and iris details along the way, plus a late echo of warm earth. Likely burning the candle at both ends, so drink up now for its hedonism. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2034. 7,583 cases made.

The 2022 Desmirail is a heady, potent Margaux. Copious layers of inky dark fruit and sweet oak tones are front and center. Desmirail is not at all subtle, and yet it is very well balanced in its own way. Time in the glass brings out hints of sage, chocolate, new leather and incense.

Jeb Dunnuck

Spicy oak, ripe black cherries, and floral nuances emerge from the 2022 Château Desmirail, a medium-bodied, elegant, seamless Margaux offering polished tannins, just about flawless balance, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and well worth seeking out. If it picks up weight with 2-4 years in the cellar, the score will seem low. The 2022 is 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
