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

The revered Jessica Litaud Macon Solutre-Pouilly 2022 is the embodiment of exceptional French winemaking tradition. Produced in the famed Maconnais region within southern Burgundy - renowned for its superior Chardonnay, Jessica Litaud embraces minimal intervention methods, allowing inherent terroir attributes to effectively shape the wine. The 2022 vintage demonstrates superior craftsmanship with a delicate balance of ripe fruit flavours, impressive minerality, and a structured finish. Litaud's Solutre-Pouilly is derived from the lower slopes of the Roche de Solutré, a breath-taking limestone escarpment that confers nuanced complexity in the wine. Jessica, a visionary third-generation winemaker, infuses her commitment to sustainable viticulture practices in every bottle. Savour this elegant French delight today: the Jessica Litaud Macon Solutre-Pouilly 2022 represents a superlative expression of the Macon appellation's potential. |

|
Burgundy | - | 92-94 (IB) | HK$2,900.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)A fresh raspberry strawberry nose after one of the lighter colours. Much broader on the palate with an impressive density here, strawberry and cherry, evenly balanced with finesse as well. All is there in quite a refined style. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-93)Not especially deep in colour, but the nose is rather fine, the elegance of Volnay, less demonstrative on the palate, with medium intensity of the strawberry, cherry fruit. Fair length. A wine of finesse rather than power. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023. |

Burgundy | - | 93-95 (VN (NM)) | HK$5,515.00 | ||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (93-95)The 2022 Corton-Pougets Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with dark plum, raspberry coulis, incense and light sous-bois scents. It takes quite a few swirls of the glass to get the aromas going. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured, assertive opening. The tannins are slightly chalky, lending this Corton-Pougets edginess/nerve. Fine mineralité towards the finish yet tightly wound and almost curmudgeonly in its nascent state, this Grand Cru will demand long-term agin |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)This vineyard is worked by horse. 20% whole bunch vinification, 30% new wood. Dark purple with a little reduction. There is fine potential here too, in a liquid dark raspberry style, long on the palate, some sun dried cherries, but without the alcohol and excess of 2020. Good wine. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: December 2023. |

Philippe Pacalet Corton Grand Cru Bressandes
(12x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 95 (DC) | HK$36,175.00 | ||||
Decanter (95)The delicious Corton Bressandes has long been a favourite in this cellar. It is produced from a large (0.80 hectare) parcel that Pacalet rents, planted with 80-year-old massale selection vines at very high density. The vines give a small yield but very concentrated fruit that Pacalet ferments gently as whole clusters to deliver this intense, powerful wine that retains surprising elegance and finesse for such a substantial wine. The ripe mulberry and plum fruit aromas are hedged with earth and savoury game notes; the texture is tannic and compact. This Bressandes should open in five to seven years and drink well for decades. |

Vincent Girardin Corton Perrieres Grand Cru
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 91-93 (VN) | HK$5,765.00 | ||||
Vinous (91-93)The 2022 Corton-Perrières Grand Cru contains 70% whole bunches this year. It has a perfumed, very floral bouquet with violets and iris flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fresh and slightly chalky in texture. This feels focused and quite persistent on the finish. It is very promising and certainly a step up from the 2021. |

Vincent Girardin Volnay 1er Cru Champans
(6x75cl)
2022
|
|
Burgundy | - | 92-94 (VN) | HK$3,180.00 | ||||
Vinous (92-94)The 2022 Volnay Les Champans 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed. The expressive nose mixes red and black fruit, melted tar and touches of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, lightly spiced with a brisk, black cherry and licorice-tinged finish. Perhaps this has more refinement than the Clos des Chênes. |
