Each successive heat wave had growers wondering if this might be the new normal. The vintage nevertheless resulted in a suite of impressive wines and these five perfect 100-point scorers are standard-bearers for the sheer overall excellence of 2022. I had the opportunity to taste alongside some of the best-known members of the press, here is the short-list of our absolute favorites: [Troplong Mondot (Futures Pre-Sale) 2022 - Deep with red and dark fruits, lush in texture, and yet still mouthwatering thanks to the terroir’s limestone which kept everything fresh through the heat.]( [Chateau Pontet-Canet (Futures Pre-Sale) 2022 - Another pure-bred Cabernet blend from this ground-breaking Fifth Growth. Concentrated yet refined, the essence of Pauillac bursts from the glass with blackcurrants, tobacco leaf and graphite notes.]( [Chateau Figeac (Futures Pre-Sale) 2022 - A monumental wine and proof that Figeac deserves the highest status in the St-Emilion ranking. This is the first vintage since its elevation to Grand Cru Classe ‘A’ status and this bottling is sure to become a collectible.]( [Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (Futures Pre-Sale) 2022 - The Cabernet of Pauillac is the star here with blue fruits, pencil lead and perfumed floral notes carrying from the bouquet to the palate. All that and yet it retains its sensual, plush texture.]( [Cheval Blanc (Futures Pre-Sale) 2022 - A wine that left us speechless. The depth of this kaleidoscopic Cheval is breathtaking. It’s in perfect balance and feels seamless. Aromas of wild berries, violets and telltale cigar wrapper are truly mesmerizing.]( [Shop all 2022 Futures]( To purchase Bordeaux Futures, you must be a StewardShip member.
