2022 Château Larmande

The 2022 Larmande is a very sexy wine. Floral, silky and medium in body, the 2022 is all finesse. Crushed flowers, sweet red cherry, cedar, new leather, spice and blood orange all meld together effortlessly. Larmande is, quite simply, exquisite.

A refined red with blackberry and blueberry character as well as fresh herbs on both the nose and palate. It’s linear and refined with a long and lively finish. There’s tension and focus to the finesse. Drink in 2028. (01/2025)

Red and black fruits, spring flowers, and a lively earth and mineral streak all emerge from the 2022 Château Larmande, a medium-bodied, fresh, focused, elegant Saint-Emilion. Based on 79% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, it's not massive but shines for its overall balance and finesse. It’s going to shine for 15+ years. (02/2025)

The 2022 Larmande has turned out beautifully in bottle, offering up aromas of sweet cherries, minty berries, licorice and peony, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and supple palate that's long and layered. This estate's wines are always charming, but the 2022 possesses an additional dimension of depth and interest.
