【Chateau La Confession 2022】

Robert Parker Rating: 90/100

Jean-Philippe Janoueix Domaines is a Bordeaux producer that owns a portfolio of estates located in the Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion and Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellations, as well as in Pomerol and Bordeaux Supérieur. The founder, Jean-Philippe Janoueix, hails from a highly respected Bordeaux winemaking dynasty. The family business was established by Joseph Janoueix in 1898, and Jean-Philippe Janoueix founded his own branch in 1994. Today, he has built a wine portfolio that includes Château Haut-Pontet, Château La Confession (a Saint-Émilion estate), Croix-Mouton (Bordeaux Supérieur AOC), as well as Château La Croix Saint-Georges and Château Sacre Coeur (both in Pomerol).

The 2022 La Confession offers up aromas of sweet blackberries, mint chocolate and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety palate built around powdery tannins. Its élevage remains front-and-center for the time being.
