Tasting notes
As readers may remember, the 2022 Haut-Brisson is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Evoking aromas of cassis, mulberries and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, round and enveloping with a juicy core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline, chalky finish enhanced by a delicate reduction at this stage. This is one of the most gourmand offerings in the Vignobles K universe.

The 2022 Château Haut-Brisson is impressive, with the vintage’s sun-kissed style, while staying more medium to full-bodied, pure, and elegant. Ripe black cherries, currants, crushed stone, and pressed flower notes all shine here, and I love its overall balance and finesse. Given its seamless style, it drinks well today, yet it has ripe, polished tannins and should evolve gracefully over the coming two decades.
The 2022 Haut Brisson has an attractive, open-knit nose with vibrant red berry fruit, sous-bois and cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied and more classical in style than its peers, with grainy tannins and a grippy, off-dry finish. Give this a couple of years in bottle.
Waves of crushed red roses on the aromatics, this is very pretty, plenty of chalky tannins also, balanced with rich deep brambled fig and blackberry fruits. Good stuff. 18ha estate, aged in 35% new oak with the rest in neutral oak, low SO2 addition, harvest September 9 to 24. No irrigation across any of the Vignoble K estates, 3.6ph. Single point upscore.
