PRE-SHIPMENT
Dispatched from 03/06/2024?

When I was in Bordeaux last week, I re-tasted the new Vintage Claret 2022 with Jonathan Maltus and his son Jack at Le Dome in Saint-Émilion (scroll down to watch the short clip). We all agreed that their new vintage tasted better now than it did before it was bottled.

Jonathan only makes their Vintage Claret in the very best vintages - and 2022 is without question one. He sources and blends the wine from vineyards in and around Saint-Émilion and vinifies it to be fruit forward (mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) and drinkable when young, which it most certainly is.

With lashings of rich, ripe fruit, soft tannins, and a long finish, the 2022 is gorgeous, and why all of us at FromVineyardsDirect recommend it so highly.

How does the wine taste? Customer Reviews (1)
Wonderfully rich nose with aromas of soft red berry fruit; full bodied, fresh, balanced, with good structure and soft tannins - merlot at its best in this great vintage.

Vintage Claret - always fantastic and outstanding VFM.

"This classic Saint-Émilion from the English producer Jonathan Maltus has vibrant notes of blackcurrants and a dry finish."
Will Lyons, Sunday Times
"Sourced from Saint-Émilion and neighbouring appellations, this is made by Johnathan Maltus, perhaps best known for his super Right Bank 'garage wine', 'Le Dôme'. This Merlot-dominated blend has smooth, concentrated aroma of plums and blackcurrant, an elegant little hint of Sandalwood spice in the background. It's a big, caressing mouthful of luscious Merlot on the palate, with very sweet and soft tannins, but a little liquorice twist of bittersweetness from the acid, oak and tannin does give a pert, fresh finish too. With 14.5% alcohol it is ripe and full, a bit of a contrast to the Petite Sirène, but really rather delicious."
Tom Cannavan, WINE-PAGES.COM
"Made by Jonathan Maltus he of Le Dôme and Château Teyssier, and famously the first Englishman to get a perfect 100/100 score from Robert Parker its full of ripe, juicy, bramble fruit and boasts a wonderful softness thanks to its luscious Merlot-dominant fruit. "
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator (previous vintage)
