There`s nothing shy about the 2022 Les Chaiilloux. It is firm and focused with a strict structure, backbone of acidity and flinty power that guns through the wine from start to finish. There`s concentration and substance wrapped up in this compact wine, whose edges have been curved by time in foudre on lees. I`ve called this a strict, schoolmistressy wine in the past, and in 2022, it remains strict but less uptight. Elderflowers and nettles meet subtle autolytic notes on the long, direct finish. 93-95 points
