The year 2022 was marked by a mild and dry winter leading to an early budding. The spring is mild and wet with no pest pressure. Flowering took place quickly in very favorable, dry and warm conditions. The harvest prospects are very good on our Graves soils. The vines resisted the heat and drought well and remained green and vigorous until the harvest. Two storms in August allowed the grapes to finish ripening. The first white grape harvest took place on 19 August. The juices were rich, well-balanced and had good acidity, and the volumes were moderate. The first Merlot were harvested at the beginning of September, followed by the Cabernet. The red grapes were harvested serenely as they matured throughout the month. The wines are magnificent, colorful, fruity and concentrated. Color, smoothness, creaminess, and freshness are the key features of this vintage. 2022 is a brilliant vintage with great ageing potential.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”none” text=”Download the datasheet” url=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Technical-details-Chateau-de-Cerons-Graves-White-2022.pdf”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Extra-Color-1″ quote=”Bright yellow colour with green hue.

The harvest was exceptionally long, beginning in early September for the white wines and late October \u2013 and even early November \u2013 for the reds and C\u00e9rons.<\/p>\n
The wines are altogether magnificent. The reds are deeply-coloured and full of fruit, the whites are elegant and show great aromatic complexity, and the sweet wines have outstanding floral overtones.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”fontawesome” text=”Download the datasheet” url=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Technical-details-Chateau-de-C%C3%A9rons-Graves-White-2016.pdf” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Extra-Color-1″ quote=”Robe p\u00e2le.

\nThe weather was perfect. It was hot and sunny weather until late July. Cooler temperatures and a few showers in August were conducive to good, even ripening, and the grapes were picked in excellent condition.
\nThe harvest and fermentation took place without a hitch, beginning with Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris, followed by S\u00e9millon, then Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes used to make C\u00e9rons were picked in several passes under ideal conditions.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”small” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-1″ icon_family=”fontawesome” text=”Download the datasheet” url=”\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Technical-details-Chateau-de-C%C3%A9rons-Graves-Blanc-2015-1.pdf” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-book”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Extra-Color-1″ quote=”Merveilleuse onctuosit\u00e9 et maturit\u00e9 noble de la saveur, grande longueur, bien plus abouti \u00e0 notre sens que bien des pessac-l\u00e9ognan marqu\u00e9s par des sauvignons trop aromatiques.” name=”Bettane & Desseauve | Michel Bettane” subtitle=”92\/100″][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Extra-Color-1″ quote=”Nez expressif et \u00e9panoui, avec un beau fruit m\u00fbr, des notes vanill\u00e9es et de r\u00e9s\u00e9da, bouche charnue, chaleureuse et \u00e9nergique.” name=”Guide HUBERT” subtitle=”4\/5″][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Extra-Color-1″ quote=”Mi-s\u00e9millon mi-sauvignon, ce 2015 offre un bouquet tout en finesse o\u00f9 les agrumes (pamplemousse, citron) dominent, sans \u00e9touffer pour autant de delicates nuances florales.
