Château la Prade Francs Côtes de Bordeaux 2022

Excellent limestone scrape, Nicolas Thienpont knows how to accentuate a terroir, and he does it to great affect here. Once more expect salinity, juicy salt-scraping tannins, bright and vivid fruit, great value and one to look out for. These are not as exuberant as some in the vintage but that is a plus for me. 37.5hl/h yield, 7ha in production, 33% new oak.
