Château Dalem 2022, Fronsac

The solar characteristics of this vintage started in May with temperatures
above normal for the season. These conditions stimulated early blossom.
Summer continued with optimal conditions for the vineyard, a
« Mediterranean climate » that favoured the expression of our great terroirs.
The beautiful weather we had in autumn enabled us to harvest serenely while
maintaining the optimum degree of maturity for our grapes.
This year’s fruits are of great complexity and consistency, optimised by
meticulous sorting methods : mechanical, densimetric and manual.
Despite the lack of rain and high temperatures which led to lower yields than
we hoped, the skin’s tannic richness is elegant and a subtle tension balances
the high sugar concentration in our grapes.
