Chateau de la Huste 2022

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.
