It's this year's big change in the St Emilion wine ranking! After announcing the withdrawal of Cheval Blanc and Ausone in June 2021, the famous Château Angélus also announced at the beginning of January 2022 its wish not to participate in the 2022 classification. In a press release published on January 05, 2022, the owners stated that the classification was "a vector of antagonism and instability". Here are the changes following the boycotts and also the withdrawals following the committee's votes:
