Mazeyres (BIO-ORGANIC) - Pomerol 2022

Château Mazeyres, un Pomerol vivant et historique

Le Millésime 2022

Le gel fin mars début avril avec de nombreux jours de lutte occasionnera, ça et là, quelques dégâts. Le millésime sera exceptionnellement chaud et sec dès le mois de mai. La mi-floraison, rapide et homogène, est observée autour du 20 mai. La première vague de chaleur est particulièrement précoce, à la mi-juin, au moment où les raisins grossissent, entraînant une faible taille des baies.

Le 1er septembre, la récolte très précoce (battant presque le record de 2011 du 31 août) débute sous le soleil. Les nuits fraîches permettent de conserver le caractère fruité des raisins. La petite taille des baies et la richesse tannique des peaux sont des marqueurs du millésime.
Les équipes ont été très attentives à conserver un équilibre entre la richesse et la qualité des tanins et la fraîcheur qui est désormais le marqueur des vins du Château Mazeyres. 2022 restera dans les mémoires comme celui de tous les excès et les vins du Mazeyres n’en auront que davantage de prix à nos yeux.

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.
