The 2022 Vintage at Domaine d’Eugénie

Régisseur Michel Mallard told me that the 2022 “growing season was the hottest and driest on record yet the vines suffered no hydric stress to speak of. The only explanation that I can think of is that the massive June rainstorm dropped so much water that is was enough to allow the vines to properly ripen the fruit while not dropping their leaves in the process. We were lucky but I’ll take it! We picked from the 27th of June and the fruit was reasonably clean though it did require light sorting. Yields were very good if not actually high in absolute term at between 35 and 45 hl/ha. With that said though, they are the highest we have ever produced since the domaine was founded. Potential alcohols were also very good and ranged between 12.8 and 13.5%. We used a bit more whole clusters this year, which is to say from 30 to 100%, which is higher for example than in 2021 where we used between 20 and 75%. As to the quality, at the risk of engaging in hyperbole, I really like this vintage and these could be the best wines we have ever made.” I agree with Mallard that the domaine’s 2022s are indeed impressive.
