“My grandmother’s grace, elegance, and subtle strength make her the perfect namesake for our rarest and most age worthy wine. Henrietta ‘Yettalil’ Goelet inspired everyone in our family to live a life of adventure and embrace the joy of bringing happiness to others.

Yettalil is the wine my grandparents dreamed of. A legacy fulfilled and the north star for Clos du Val’s next half-century, it is a blended expression of our estate employing all five Bordeaux varieties.” - Olav Goelet, third-generation owner

A mild spring and early summer welcomed a promising 2022 vintage to Hirondelle. The crucial summer months of August and September brought sunshine and warmth, ushering the vines through veraison towards maturity. Cool autumn evenings afforded a slow, gradual ripening which culminated in a late October harvest, yielding elegant and concentrated fruit with soft tannins and wonderful acidity.

Yettalil draws you into the glass with captivating aromas of blackberry, plum, cherry compote, fresh sage, and spice. Expressive yet composed, the layers foretell a wine of character and complexity. As you taste, the wine sweeps across the palate with polished tannins and flavors of pure blackcurrant. The 2022 vintage’s vibrant acidity carries the wine towards a long, smooth finish.
