Chateau La Commanderie Grand Cru Classe

La Commanderie 2022

La Commanderie

Case Format: 6x75cl

Upon being purchased by the Decosters in 2004, Château La Commanderie began a sustainable, organic farming approach, with consultation by Hubert de Bouard of Chateau Angélus on their winemaking. This tiny estate sits at just six hectares in size and is a true Saint-Émilion hidden gem, with a small selection of vines also located close to Pomerol. The vineyards comprise Merlot (c.80%) and Cabernet Franc (c.20%). Typical of Saint-Émilion, the terroir features sand, gravel and iron deposits laced throughout the soil. Following a hand-picked harvest, vinification takes place in concrete vats, before the wine is aged in 50% new French oak for 18 months. Château La Commanderie requires a bit of time before it can be fully enjoyed, but after around 3-4 years it develops into a gorgeous, supple wine.

CRITIC REVIEWS

85-87
Yohan Castaing

The 2022 La Commanderie, a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from grapes planted on gravel soils, reveals aromas of caramel, violet, ripe berries and cocoa. Medium-bodied, taut and lean, with a firm finish, this wine, like many in this appellation, seems to have suffered from the drought.

Redcurrant, raspberry, vivid red fruits, this is enjoyable but a little overwhelming, the heat hits you upfront and you have to sit with it for a while to let the juice rise and the tannins soften and open. Has character, but needs time in bottle. 50% new oak.
