The Pic du Versant 2022 from Louis Mitjavile, in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, perfectly illustrates the rising reputation of this Bordeaux terroir. Located on clay-limestone slopes that extend from Saint-Émilion, the vineyards benefit from optimal exposure and even ripening. The 2022 vintage, shaped by generous sunshine and favorable weather, produced grapes that are both concentrated and aromatic, while retaining remarkable freshness. The result is a wine that strikes a fine balance between intensity and elegance.
The signature of Louis Mitjavile is evident from vinification to élevage: gentle extractions, careful maturation in oak barrels, and a constant pursuit of harmony between fruit, structure, and complexity. This cuvée reflects the family style—technical precision combined with sensitivity—to bring out the best of the Castillon terroir.
Tasting of the 2022 vintage
The robe is dark and bright, a deep ruby with violet highlights.
The nose is expressive and refined, opening with ripe black fruits—blackberry, cassis, plum—enhanced by notes of kirsch cherry, sweet spices, and a touch of fine, toasty oak. With aeration, nuances of cocoa, blond tobacco, and a hint of minerality emerge.
On the palate, the attack is generous and velvety, supported by excellent density. The mid-palate reveals silky, ripe tannins balanced by fresh acidity that energizes the wine. Juicy black fruit flavors intertwine with licorice and peppery notes, adding depth and character. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a gourmet and harmonious impression, emblematic of the Mitjavile style.
The advice of 12bouteilles: A wine that will sublimate a beautiful red meat, a poultry, a game, or even as an aperitif on a nice cold meats board.
