La Mondotte, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2022 Japan balance and a long complexA Premier Grand Cru Classe of Saint Emilion from Stephan von Neipperg, grown on a tiny limestone clay parcel that yields wines of remarkable concentration and mineral drive. The 2022 is profound and silky, with cassis, blueberry, violet, graphite and spice over fine, chalky tannins. James Suckling 99 points.
