Coming from vines near Troplong Mondot and 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Château Rochebelle is an absolutely brilliant barrel sample that stopped me in my tracks. Deep purple-hued, with perfumed blueberries, cherries, mulberries, chocolate, and a distinct chalky minerality, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and flawless balance. The purity and precision here, paired with gorgeous depth of fruit, is something to behold. It's going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have 25+ years of overall longevity. I wouldn't be surprised to see this surpass both the 2018 and 2020. - Jeb Dunnuck

A tiny vineyard in a beautiful part of the St. Emilion hillside with some of the top names. It shows plenty of crushed stone, chalk and black berry character. Medium to full body. Juicy finish. - James Suckling

Ruby red, this is intense but the limestone fingerprint is lightening the colour a little compared to some. Moriesh with a salty lick from the first moment, this is a delicious wine that gets the balance exactly right between intense ripe black fruits and juicy measured acidity. No question that we are in a ripe vintage with spice and cut herbs, but this extends outwards through the palate, and is just extremely enjoyable, even now as an En Primeur sample, but with enough tannic architecture to trust its ageing ability. Lovely from owner and winemaker Emilie Faniest. A buy. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Rochebelle soars from the glass with evocative notes of Morello cherries, fresh raspberries, and warm plums, followed by hints of violets and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is bright and juicy, with velvety tannins and bags of freshness supporting the black and red berry layers, finishing with a floral lift. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

Aromas of wild berries, cherries, rose petals and licorice preface the 2022 Rochebelle, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a bright core of fruit, rich, powdery tannins and a long, chalky finish. From a vineyard on the edge of the plateau sandwiched between Tertre Roteboeuf and La Mondotte, the father and daughter team of Philippe and Emilie Faniest have delivered another strong performance. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
