Haut-Médoc

The depth of colour in these wines is really pretty remarkable. This starts off slowly but surely, a good approach in this kind of vintage, allowing the dark berry fruits to match the tannins through the palate. Edges of tar and cloves show that even with this careful approach you can't escape the character of the vintage, but there is appealing velvety texture, and sweet blackberry puree on the finish. A standout vintage at the property, look out for it.

Inside Bordeaux

The 2022 Verdignan is deep garnet-purple in color. It features notes of dried Provence herbs, pencil lead, and baked plums, plus suggestions of mossy tree bark and chargrill. The medium to full-bodied palate has firm, chewy tannins and soft acidity to support the savory flavors, finishing a tad hard.

Chalky slightly austere tannins, as is often the case in the Médoc this year, but there is cassis and bilberry fruit to accompany. Overall structure a little hard but delivers a juicy signoff and this has an unfussy charm - impressive when you see the yield is just 17hl/h. Blend given is planted, not of the vintage.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Verdignan shoots out with scents of fresh redcurrants and Bing cherries giving way to an undercurrent of pencil shavings and dried herbs with a touch of charcoal. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing, with firm chewy tannins leading to a grippy finish.

Clear berry fruits, hedgerow character with raspberry leaf and sappy redcurrant. Well made, Médoc character, soft finish, on the edge of ripeness but well handled and carefully extracted.

It contains 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc: It is exciting to taste this one, as it may be too old for its quality level. The nose is fruity with blackcurrants and red plums. There is also licorice and moist forest floor. The palate is velvety, fruity and acidic in a fine balance. The finish is medium long and acidic. It is a lovely wine which is perfectly mature, and delivers far better than I expected.
