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

Jean Fournier Marsannay Les Es Chezots
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 90-92 (BH) | HK$9,587.60 | ||||
Burghound (90-92)A cooler and airier nose somewhat grudgingly displays its array of various dark berries, especially black raspberry, violet and a hint of wet stone character. The fleshy, rich and nicely textured medium weight flavors exhibit even more minerality on the youthfully austere, compact and serious finale. This balanced effort is textbook Es Chezots and should repay 8 to 12 years of keeping. |

Jean Fournier Marsannay Les Longeroies Blanc
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 90-92 (VN) | HK$1,855.00 | ||||
Vinous (90-92)The 2022 Marsannay Blanc Les Longeroies has a backward, slightly reductive, flinty bouquet, suggesting it will benefit from time in bottle. The well-balanced palate is tensile and edgy with a keen thread of acidity. Bitter lemon and orange rind enliven the finish. Good potential. |

Jean Fournier Marsannay Les Longeroies Rouge
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 91-93 (VN) | HK$1,855.00 | ||||
Vinous (91-93)The 2022 Marsannay Les Longeroies offers blackberry, wild hedgerow and forest floor scents on the nose, with a faint hint of black olive. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit and fine tannins. There is a little compactness towards the finish at the moment, but it is surfeit with freshness and tension. A hint of white pepper surfaces on the aftertaste. What a lovely Marsannay this will be. |

Jean Fournier Marsannay Rouge Le Chapitre
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 88-91 (BH) | HK$9,587.60 | ||||
Burghound (88-91)Here the nose displays that peculiar kind of reduction called bourgeon de cassis, or cassis bud, that crowds out more interesting notes. On the palate there is much better freshness and verve to the detailed and stony middleweight flavors that deliver good depth and persistence on the youthfully austere finale |
|||||||||
Jean Fournier Marsannay Saint Urbain Rouge
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 87-89 (BH) | HK$9,587.60 | ||||
Burghound (87-89)(the name refers to a small tower located just behind the domaine; the fruit comes from 6 different lieux-dits). A more floral-suffused nose presents a range of aromas that include violet, dark currant and black cherry. The very supple and fleshy middleweight flavors possess a seductive texture while exhibiting enough depth and persistence on the balanced finale to be interesting. This too could easily be enjoyed young |

Jean Fournier Marsannay Trois Terres VV
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 88-90 (VN) | HK$2,870.00 | ||||
Vinous (88-90)The 2022 Marsannay Trois Terres Vieilles Vignes has discrete touches of fish scale and black olive on the nose, married neatly with the black fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry. Touches of fig and dates tincture the black fruit. Was this picked just a day or two later than optimal? It feels too sweet for my liking and compared to the previous vintage. |

Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 93-95 (VN (NM)) | HK$6,800.00 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a very tempting bouquet, beautifully defined and one of the purest from Grivot this vintage. There's a subtle flinty quality to the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm structure, edgy, thanks to the slightly chalky tannins. It’s a marine-influenced Nuits Saint-Georges with a lingering, quite minerally finish. Exce |

Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Roncieres
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 91-94 (IB) | HK$6,800.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)Medium crimson ruby in colour. A very fine perfumed nose, with a blacker note on top of the red fruit, the touch of garrigue for which Roncières is noted, a saline touch also behind the red fruit, with some orange zest. An interesting complex wine with good length. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jean Grivot Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Lavieres
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 90-93 (IB) | HK$3,105.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)A little deeper in ruby colour. A pleasing mid ripeness to the fruit, this Nuits Lavières is beautifully balanced, with a fine mineral crunch following the solid and persistent raspberry fruit. Fine length. Elegant for Nuits, yet with a well defined structure. Drink from 2028-2036. Tasted: November 2023. |
|||||||||
Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 95-97 (VN (NM)) | HK$11,230.00 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (95-97)The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru has a wonderful, expressive bouquet with shimmering red berry fruit, white flowers and hints of blood orange. Very harmonious and poised. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. It’s not powerful but tensile with an almost crystalline finish fanning out effortlessly. Superb. |

Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Rouges
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 92-94 (VN (NM)) | HK$7,095.00 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (92-94)The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges 1er Cru was the last cuvée to finish its malolactic fermentation. The nose has more fruit concentration than the Les Chaumes: a mixture of red and black, hints of black truffle coming through with time, and a touch of sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with a tensile opening, very poised and animated with filigree tannins framing the finish. Often overlooked within Grivot's panoply of Vosne Premier Crus, this is one that I would seek out. |

Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Les Suchots
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 93-95 (IB) | HK$1,000.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)Clear bright ruby purple. The nose flickers in and out, and while there is a fine tensile line of red berry fruit, this is not too demonstrative. Perhaps some of the refined detail of an Echezeaux. A slight sucrosity of strawberry fruit, and very persistent. Very good and extremely typical of Suchots this year. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: November 2023. |
|||||||||
Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 89-92 (IB) | HK$3,550.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-92)Not so deep in colour, but quite elegant on the nose. A lighter red fruit profile. Beautifully generous through the middle, perfumed strawberry and raspberry, with a structure built more on acidity than tannin. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: November 2023. |
|||||||||
Jean Tardy Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Athets
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 90-91 (BH) | HK$4,225.00 | ||||
Burghound (90-91)Outstanding Earthier aromas of plum, violet and anise are trimmed in all but invisible wood. There is fine volume to the rich and velvet-textured middleweight flavors that flash good power on the slightly firmer finale that also displays a touch of rusticity. This built-to-age effort is going to need at least a few years of patience. Like the Fixin, this too is worth checking out. |
|||||||||
Jean Tardy Echezeaux Grand Cru Les Treux VV
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 93-95 (IB) | HK$9,740.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)100% new wood. Dense dark purple, the nose currently dominated by the oak, but it will integrate well without any sign of drying the ample fruit. We cannot see the detail yet but the 2022 Echezeaux finishes gracefully, with finesse. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023. |
|||||||||
Jean Tardy Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Argillas
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 92-94 (VN) | HK$6,450.00 | ||||
Vinous (92-94)The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Argillats 1er Cru has a fresh and delineated bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, pressed white flowers and truffle. The palate is well balanced with sappy red fruit, fine tannins, nicely focused with impressive tension and mineralité on the finish. It ranks as one of Guillaume Tardy's best cuvées this year. |
|||||||||
Jean Tardy Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Bas de Combe
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 91-93 (IB) | HK$4,375.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)A fine even purple. The bouquet delivers just a little more intensity, and indeed class. A dark raspberry fruit but fresher than the Chambolle, and the acidity behind is up to the task. There is a fine clean fruit all the way through, the best balanced and most interesting of the Tardy wines. Fine tannins and even a mineral touch to assist the acidity. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2023. |

Jean Tardy Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Vigneux
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 89-92 (BH) | HK$4,225.00 | ||||
Burghound (89-92)Outstanding top value A very spicy, airy and layered nose freely reveals its aromas of black raspberry, violet, plum and exotic tea. The gorgeously textured and more refined medium-bodied flavors exude a subtle minerality that also seems to add a sense of lift to the balanced and sneaky long finale. This is a lovely Vosne villages and absolutely worth considering. |

Jancis Robinson (17+)Mid crimson. Darker-fruited than the Chorey and the Savigny, deep, pure dark fruit and some Nuits spice. Oak seems a little more marked on the nose and also on the palate. Open and surprisingly approachable but needs time for the oak to back off a bit. Long, dark, savoury finish. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Mid cherry red. Seductive, sweet-floral, perfumed. Open and expressive. Then deeper and more savoury on the palate. Super-fine tannins with lots of layers so that overall they are slightly chewy. Multilayerd, deeply fruited and very long. A harmonious beauty. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Mid cherry red. Highly perfumed, impression of violets. That perfume leads you to a firmly but finely structured wine – the really elegant tannins are the main quality of the palate at the moment. A refined, pure and elegant beauty. |

Jean-Claude Boisset Vosne Romanee Jacquines
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 17.5 (JR) | HK$4,770.00 | ||||
Jancis Robinson (17.5)Mid cherry red. Bright red-fruited aroma, more cranberry in its impression of freshness. The stems showing in a light herbal note. Stems adding to the tannins on the palate, too, but they are so polished. Needs more time than some to silkify. Pure and deep with a touch of oak spice and sweetness on the very end. Impressive depth of fruit and great length. |
