Mazeyres (BIO-ORGANIC) - Pomerol 2022

Cha^teau Mazeyres, a living and historic Pomerol wine

The 2022 vintage

The frost at the end of March and beginning of April with many days of struggle will cause some damage here and there. The vintage will be exceptionally hot and dry from May. Mid-flowering, rapid and homogeneous, is observed around May 20th.

The first wave of heat is particularly early, In mid-June, when the grapes are getting bigger, resulting in low berry size. On September 1, the very early harvest (almost beating the 2011 record of August 31) began under the sun. The cool nights allow the fruity character of the grapes to be preserved. The small size of the berries and the tannic richness of the skins are markers of the vintage. The teams were very careful to maintain a balance between the richness and quality of the tannins and the freshness which is now the marker of the wines of Château Mazeyres.

2022 will be remembered as the year of all excesses and the wines of Mazeyres will only be more valuable in our eyes.

The biodynamic approach has greatly benefited Château Mazeyres, with intense and delicate aromas of cherry and blueberry, without any sign of over-ripeness. This sandy-soil Pomerol wine does not reveal any weakness in the 2022 vintage, instead winning hearts with its solid yet gentle tannins. This free-spirited and approachable expression is not common in Pomerol. I eagerly anticipate its even more outstanding performance after bottling.

Like the floral aromatics here, followed by raspberry puree, just the right amount of rustic to make it approachable and not overly sleek, has juice and character, and is an enjoyable wine. Guillard family owners since 2020, still with Alain Moueix as director. 18hl/h yield, harvest September 1 to 22, 30% in barrel, 20% in cement edges, 30% in large oak cask and 20% in amphora.Certified organic and biodynamic.

The 2022 Château Mazeyres is solid and well worth purchasing. Based on 78% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, it has a juicy, fresh, lively style in its mulberry and darker plum-like fruit, and it’s forward, medium-bodied, and easygoing. It should drink well for 10-12 years.

The 2022 Mazeyres really seems to have gone into its shell on the nose, missing a little presence. The palate is medium-bodied with sorbet-fresh red fruit, quite citrus-like for a Pomerol. This is open-knit with kirsch and orange rind notes toward the finish. It becomes quite spicy in the glass. This is a fine albeit relatively early-drinking wine.

A nicely structured, savory and textured Pomerol. The nose exhibits blueberries, mulberries, dark plums, dried violets, wet floor and mild spices. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Plenty of graphite character on the palate with a seductive frame of berries and spices mingling harmoniously. Well-driven with a long, focused finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2027.

The 2022 Mazeyres is aromatic, bold and racy. Crushed flowers, sage, mint, spice and licorice race out of the glass. Mazeyres is a blend of sites, many of them in cooler spots within Pomerol, which was certainly a help in 2022. As a result, this retained terrific energy. Lifted floral and savory notes extend the clean, bracing finish.

Spritzy and a bit reductive on the palate, strongly herbal and softly spiced, feels like the vines struggled a bit with tobacco, clove, cinnamon flavours. Harvest 1-22 September. Yield of 18hl/ha.
