Burgundy 2022 En Primeur: Blue Skies Over Beaune, Verdant Vines In Vosne
After the unusually cold and small-yielding 2021, the 2022 vintage swung back to what we might consider the “new norm”. With an overall abundance of warmth and sunshine, timely rainfall in June and August helped to balance out any effects of the heat. Early impressions tell a story of wines in general produced with more richness and concentration than their predecessors, with the best of them retaining all important freshness and disarming equilibrium.
Jasper Morris is the first critic to release the 2022 vintage report. He praised the vintage as "bountiful and beautiful" and recommends collectors to consider cellaring the wines.
"Vintages that came to mind were 1985 for the health of the grapes, 1999 for the size of the crop and the relative consistency of quality though with a bias towards the Côte de Beaune, and 2002 – just short of top flight but a really lovely flavour profile of medium density and longevity." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
"All other things being equal, I would recommend going large in 2022, large in the sense of a broad range because there are so many really good wines at all levels." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Benjamin was able to keep the lees after racking as they were so pure and continue to nourish the wine. Very pale in colour. There is plenty of energy here, lemon infused up front, just the right flesh behind, with a long, agile finish. Drink from 2026-2029. Tasted: October 2023.In Bond€1,154.77 -

Frédéric Barnier notes that Le Vaucrain is a really balanced vineyard up and down the slope, the interplay of soil and rock, and with good water sources. The 2022 has a bright red fruit, fresh and immediate, plenty of energy, gaining in concentration through the middle, with an agreeable mineral quality to finish. Plenty of fruit to return behind. Drink from 2027-2034. Tasted: October 2023.In Bond€173.00 -

Now racked to tank. A glowing crimson to ruby colour of medium density. The bouquet is attractively elegant. Fresh red cherry, a little raspberry behind, tightly wound for the moment but should not take too long to develop into a refined Côte de Nuits-Villages. Drink from 2026-2029.
