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

Discover an extraordinary expression of Burgundian terroir with the Nicolas Faure Nuits-Saint-Georges Herbues 2022. An exciting young talent, Nicolas Faure crafts this phenomenal red from a small patch of vines in the Nuits-Saint-Georges region of eastern France. Influenced by biodynamic practices, Faure works with old vines, ploughs with horses and eschews commercial yeasts, endeavouring to express the unique character of each vintage. The 2022 Herbues offers a complexity beyond its years, revealing layers of ripe dark fruit, damp earth, and aromatic spices. Hand-harvested, fermenting naturally with stems, then matured in oak for 18 months, it is a wine of richness and depth, seamlessly fused with vibrant acidity and supple tannins. The Nicolas Faure Nuits-Saint-Georges Herbues 2022 is a pure, captivating, and ethereal wine that memorably articulates its birthplace's distinctive geography and climate. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)90% is from the Pernand. Side, a third old vines, a third 20 year old, a third 35 year old. And guess what, the youngest are in the worst condition. Some tressed, some worked by winch. Pale colour, a beautifully mineral nose, properly shows its terroir. The wine picks up speed further back on the palate, opening out very nicely. Very attractive. Drink from 2029-2037. Tasted: October 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)40% whole bunch vinification. The lowest degree in alcohol. A good purple colour, but a nose which clearly gives less. There is a fine deep raspberry fruit which absolutely fills the palate, then a fresher finish, after which the fruit returns. Very successful. Tannins on their way to full resolution. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-96)40% whole bunch vinification. Dense rich purple. The nose is startlingly fine in rich dark raspberry fruit. Les St-Georges was hailed on which seems just to concentrate the wine. A massive wealth of fruit, drier at the back than the super saturated front, but that will come better into focus by the end of the elevage. Very promising. A light coffee note? Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)From the lower part of Le Charlemagne. There is a regular cuvee too. Lively fresh primrose. At the moment the oak shows a little stronger than the wine on the first nose. The fruit is pretty substantial on the palate, starting at the front, then gracefully continues through to a stony and salty finish. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: November 2023. |
