AMA Selection – Blooming Lotus Selection 2022 - Alexandre MA

As the AMA Vintage Report – Bordeaux 2022 En Primeur is released, I am delighted to unveil the highly anticipated AMA annual issue: AMA Selection – Blooming Lotus Selection 2022.

 

In the 2022 vintage, I’ve chosen 50 Châteaux, many of which have achieved the highest quality in their history. AMA Selection – Blooming Lotus Selection is no doubt a valuable guide for purchasing En Primeur wines.

 

<Blooming Lotus Selection>

Symbolic Definition:
The term “Xin Shui 心水”, which signifies “my favorite”, was employed by ancient Chinese sages to describe an insightful philosophy of life: keeping a heart as serene as a tranquil water surface. Only by engaging in devoted refinement and staying true to one’s original faith can we inch closer to the realm of perfection. Blooming lotus emerges gracefully from water, a perfect expression of the essence of purity and inner serenity.

Blooming Lotus Selection:
Blooming Lotus Selection: En Primeur wines that deliver distinct quality, and present an adequate interpretation of their unique terroir, all while offering exceptional value. As vibrant embodiments of Bordeaux’s enchanting beauty and its “original aspiration”, they merit wider recognition and appreciation.

 

Apart from exceptional quality, reasonable and stable prices are also important considerations for Blooming Lotus. I hope that this curated wine list can assist everyone in confidently choosing their preferred wines in Bordeaux 2022 Primeur, and I also hope that more friends can discover the purity of Bordeaux.
