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

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
Some light green reflections in the primrose yellow colour. A stricter nose, perhaps a touch of sulphur. This may also appear more backward coming after the Charmes. Then a vast wealth of fruit on the palate and now we see the real wine. It maintains the herbal note I associate with Genevrières, alongside golden fruit at a perfect degree of ripeness. The fruit and the acidity weave in and out of each other. I would not want the fruit to be riper but it is full of charm as it stands, and kept in place by the precision of the structure. Very fine. Drink from 2029-2037.HK$5,930.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)
Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet has a little softer orchard fruit compared to the Bourgogne, and is very true to its Meursault roots. The white fruit continues on the palate and is now joined by a saline note, while the ripe apples give an immediate appeal. There are little waves of flavour towards the back of the palate. Once again the aftertaste is fine, precise and thoroughly promising. Drink from 2027-2032.HK$3,495.00 -
(3x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-99)
A rich purple in colour. The bouquet does not deliver much as yet but the fruit is so seductive at the front of the palate, though still very unresolved further back with fresher tannins which still need time to integrate. I expect the 2022 Chambertin to have excellent keeping qualities. Drink from 2035-2045+. Tasted: November 2023.HK$20,900.00 -
(12x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-98)
(5 Star Wine) A fine rich mid purple. A bouquet of startling beauty, the fruit profile follows the vintage on its raspberry and cherry axis, but it is the class which counts. This Latricières delivers grand cru intensity in a particularly fine framework, with good acidity as much as tannin to provide the structure. A fine persistent finish. Wonderful wine. Drink from 2034-2042. Tasted: November 2023.HK$45,045.00 -

(5 Star Wine) Not too deep in colour, with rather a stylish perfumed raspberry fruit. Light fresh acidity, behind the beautifully balanced fruit, a few tannins too, but the fruit stretches out wonderfully behind them. The benefit of ancient vines is clear to see. Drink from 2030-2036.

(6x75cl) 2022Burghound (91)
(walnut tree; from 8 different 1ers). This is also aromatically pretty with its notably more layered nose of both red and dark currant, spice and soft earth. The vibrant and beautifully textured medium weight flavors are not especially dense but do offer fine depth and excellent length on the firmer and youthfully austere finale. This too is worth a look.HK$10,500.00 -
Burghound (87)
(poplars). Pretty red berry aromas cut with earth are complemented by delicious middle weight flavors that possess a beguiling sense of verve while conclude in a youthfully austere, balanced and firm finale. While this could be enjoyed young, it has the stuffing to repay a few years of keeping. Worth your interest.HK$1,850.00 -

Burghound (90)
(lime tree; from a .58 ha holding). This is also quite elegant and very pretty with its essence of red cherry, anise and red carnation-scented nose. On the palate there isn’t nearly the same density to the middle weight flavors that come up slightly short on the bitter chocolate-inflected finale that could use more depth. This may come together with a few years of keeping but for the moment, it’s less well-balanced and promising than the best of these 1ers.HK$1,000.00 -
Burghound (91)
(violet; from 9 different lieux-dits). A perfumed and more elegant and slightly cooler nose reflects spicy red cherry aromas that are liberally laced with a plethora of floral nuances. The innate refinement of Chambolle is very much on display with the punchy middle weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the balanced and moderately austere finale where a hint of bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges. This is also an excellent villages and warmly recommended.HK$4,180.00 -
(6x75cl) 2022Burghound (90)
(alder; from 10 different lieux-dits). A more deeply pitched nose somewhat grudgingly reveals its aromas of plum, dark berries and a whiff of the sauvage. The lilting and relatively fine flavors still manage to display focused power on the complex, long and more youthfully austere finale that is ever-so-slightly more structured as well. This is a fine Gevrey villages that is again worth checking out.HK$9,871.22 -
(6x75cl) 2022Polished and elegant, the Laurent Ponsot Meursault Cuvee du Pandorea 2022 epitomises the quintessential expression of this esteemed Burgundy appellation.
