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

Louis Jadot (Gagey) Beaune-Greves 1er Cru Le Clos Blanc
(6x75cl)
2022

|
Burgundy | - | 91-93 (VN (NM)) | HK$2,910.00 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (91-93)The 2022 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru follows up its impressive showing last year. There’s wonderful purity on the nose with yellow plum, meringue and wisps of candy floss, yet underneath, you can feel the terroir expression that will come through with time. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine silver bead of acidity. One of the most tensile and energetic of Jadot's whites, with Conference pear and gooseberry popping up on the finish. This will be fascinating to watch age in bottle |

Louis Jadot (Gagey) Beaune-Theurons 1er Cru
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 88-91 (IB) | HK$2,070.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-91)An attractive fresh mid purple. I am not finding much on the nose at first, just a nutty note mixed in with the fruit perhaps. The Theurons is well balanced on the palate, a medium density of fruit, rather more structure behind. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted: October 2023. |

Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 89-91 (VN (NM)) | HK$9,587.60 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (89-91)The 2022 Beaune Cras 1er Cru was more reduced than the preceding Beaune Grèves and demands more coaxing: darker fruit and a light marine influence at play, but it will need time. The palate is medium-bodied and more muscular than the Grèves. Impressive depth and grip, quite bold towards the finish if missing the same sense of panache. |

Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes Blanc
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 90-92 (IB) | HK$2,565.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)A fuller yellow, with a softer nose, almost buttery, rather attractive. This is quite gentle at the front of the palate, gains in weight further behind, with a mix of light acidity and slight youthful bitterness. The Beaune Bressandes Blanc remains a discreet wine but attractive. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2022 Beaune Teurons 1er Cru is fully de-stemmed for the first time. This leans more towards red fruit on the nose, though maybe because of the lack of stems, it doesn't quite have the personality or freshness as the Tuvilains. The palate is well-balanced with lively red fruit and good depth, and the 35% new oak neatly integrated with fine depth on the finish. I feel it will improve with time in bottle. |

Burgundy | 1 | 92 (IB) | HK$11,540.00 | |||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92)Pale colour with a lime tint. The bouquet indicates some power but no detail, as yet. Lush white fruit with a slightly honeyed note, continues well across the palate, a little toast and just enough acidity. The aftertaste continues quite well, while showing the riper aspects. Drink from 2028-2036. Tasted: October 2023. |

Hailing from the illustrious vineyards in Beaune, Burgundy, Pierre Girardin Beaune 1er Cru Les Epenottes 2022 strikes a masterful balance of elegance and intensity. Renowned winemaker Pierre Girardin meticulously employs traditional vinification methods, statured by 19 months aging in French oak barrels, to craft this red gem. The Girardin family, entrenched in the wine business since the 12th century, has leveraged generations of knowledge to produce this sophisticated Pinot Noir. The terroir, with its limestone-clay soils, blesses the wine with remarkable minerality and complexity. Expect explosions of dark cherry, red fruits, and structured tannin on the palate. Notes of cool spice and forest floor linger to frame a lingering finish. A testament to the dynamic expression of the Côte de Beaune, Pierre Girardin Beaune 1er Cru Les Epenottes 2022 is a wine that promises unparalleled pleasure for the discerning connoisseur. |

Burgundy | - | 90-92 (IB) | HK$2,905.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)A light crimson ruby colour. The nose is quite refined as well, with a fresh crunchy red fruit, not too much body but more of a linear intensity, and certainly very persistent. Very well balanced. Drink from 2028-2034. |

Burgundy | - | 95-98 (IB) | HK$9,587.60 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)(5 Star Wine) One barrel, not new. A pale primrose with a startlingly fine and pure bouquet. Magical. There is a refined yet exceptionally intense pure fruit, with a saline and citrus touch behind. Ultra stylish and very pure. The finish extends beautifully behind. Bravo! Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023. |
