Despite the heat, the Pinot Noir grapes maintained a remarkable "acidic spine." The wines are concentrated but avoid the "jammy" pitfalls of previous hot years like 2003.
Look for Domaine de Courcel or Comte Armand for the benchmark 2022 expression of power and longevity. Why Choose Pomerol in 2022?
