Tasting Notes

The 2022 La Chénade is a gorgeous Lalande-de-Pomerol from sisters Noemie and Constance Durantou. A healthy dollop of Cabernet Franc (20%) lifts a core of Merlot fruit as this racy red opens in the glass. Dark cherry, blood orange, new leather and rose petal are some of the many nuances that take shape in the glass. La Chénade offers a striking combination of intensely ripe fruit and energy, all lifted by floral top notes that develop with air. This is such a compelling wine.

Score: 92

The 2022 Château La Chenade is a step up over the Saintayme at this point and should be terrific. Black cherries, mulberries, chocolate, and spicy, floral notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with beautiful tannins and outstanding length.

Score: 91 - 93

The 2022 La Chenade reveals sweet aromas of cherries, berries, licorice and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless palate. This suave, charming, fruit-driven Lalande-de-Pomerol is more vibrant than its Saint-Emilion counterpart this year.

Score: 89 - 91

The 2022 La Chenade was picked between 1 and 9 September and raised in 30% new oak. This has a perfumed and floral bouquet, with iris and peony infusing the black and red fruit and a light marine influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, good depth, white pepper and clove filtering through the earthy fruit on the finish. So much character and personality in this Lalande-de-Pomerol.

Score: 90 - 92

A real sign of the vintage to see how the Durantou wines performed in Lalande in the heat of 2022 and here we have fully ripe blackcurrant and black cherry fruits, sweet and highly spiced, careful extraction as you would expect, annd this is good quality, but for me the mark of the vintage are the clove notes on the finish. 30% new oak. Sandy-gravel soils, 28hl/h yield. Harvest dates September 1 to 9.
