Introduction:
The 2022 Château Haut Mondain is a classic Bordeaux blend offering a balanced expression of the left bank’s style. It leans toward moderate extraction and structure—meant to show Bordeaux character without overwhelming intensity.

Tasting notes:
The 2022 Château Haut Mondain Bordeaux, a blend of 85% merlot and 15% cabernet sauvignon, has aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, and jammy blackberries entwined with subtle dried plum and cherry notes. The palate is full-bodied and silky, mirroring the ripe, concentrated fruit characters found on the nose. These are complemented by a hint of red spice and cedar, alongside smoky, earthy notes and undertones of licorice and chocolate. The finish is long and generous, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and a hint of white pepper.

90 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"With its blackberry aroma and ripe texture, this is a rich, juicy wine. It is full of ripe black fruits and structured wine tannins. Drink from 2025."

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Château Haut Mondain delivers a solid, approachable Bordeaux blend with black fruit depth, oak highlights, and a restrained elegance. With decanting, it is enjoyable now but has enough structure to reward careful aging over the next 8-10 years.
