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

Wine Advocate (95)The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes showed very well from barrel, and it's just as good in bottle. Wafting from the glass with notes of pear, waxy citrus rind, white flowers, freshly baked bread and honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with an elegantly muscular profile and a long, precise finish. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (93+)The 2022 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru has a clean and pure bouquet, more of a marine/oyster shell influence here that enhances complexity, though I would have liked more vigour. The palate is quite reductive on the entry, with fine depth, slightly brûlée in style with veins of Seville orange marmalade towards its overtly peppery finish. Give this two or three years because, trust me, that plus sign will come into effect. Bottled under Diam 30 Origine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Decanter (97)Although somewhat reserved at present, this has the makings of a monumental wine. Quince, ripe apricot and nectarine aromas are accented with hints of spice and marzipan. The texture has impressive density and power, balancing substance and elegance to linger impressively on the palate. Should begin to open three to five years after release and will drink well for 30 years or more. A portion of Lafon’s three-quarters of a hectare here has been replanted, but this is only the old-vine portion. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94+)The 2022 Meursault Les Porusots 1er Cru has a nuanced yet absorbing bouquet, with subtle pine needle scents filtering through the citrus fruit. Beautiful delineation and focus. The palate is taut and fresh with wonderful sapidity, so much energy coiled up in this Meursault. Like a compressed spring, so much tension—I would afford it three or four years in bottle. Bottled under Diam 30 Origine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)5 Star Wine. Half comes from Clos de la Baronne, half from three other plots, to which have been added the young vines of Perrières (2017) and some Charmes from the same year. Pale lemon and lime, with a nose which is clearly more complex than Baronne on its own. The fruit is fully ripe but there is a vibrancy behind, a faint touch of honeysuckle but mostly pure and fresh orchard fruit. Fantastic. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Fine pale lemon colour. The bouquet offers precision in a mineral style of Meursault, but not massively demonstrative. Lemon infused minerals almost to the point of being severe, but there is clearly a significant volume of fruit still to emerge. I can see the Clos de la Barre growing in stature from here. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (96)The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru has a captivating bouquet with immense purity: lemon curd, crushed stone, touches of yellow flowers and just a faint marzipan scent. Wonderful delineation. The palate is very well balanced with a vibrant entry, a keen line of acidity, taut and fresh, with a lightly spiced and extraordinarily persistent finish. Excellent. Bottled under Diam 30 Origine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |
