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

Guy Roulot Meursault Les Narvaux Blanc 2022 is a benchmark white from France, Burgundy, Meursault, crafted by Domaine Guy Roulot, one of the commune’s most exacting references. From the Les Narvaux lieu-dit on Meursault’s upper slopes, it combines tension and mineral authority with the domaine’s hallmark clarity of fruit. Vinified with a grower’s precision and an unforced, terroir-driven sensibility, this cuvée privileges freshness over overt richness, offering Meursault depth without heaviness. The palate is incisive yet layered, with ripe citrus and stone-fruit nuance, salted hazelnut and a stony, chalk-suggestive finish that gathers momentum in the glass. A serious, cellar-worthy expression that rewards both immediate attention and patient ageing, Guy Roulot Meursault Les Narvaux Blanc captures the commune’s finest balance between finesse, energy and quiet power.

A soft, elegant wine, with a very fine floral aroma and hints of ripe nectarine, smoke and minerality that Paul Delorme characterises as 'delicatesse en plus' (extra delicate). The palate is almost salty, with abundant (but not excessive) acidity that keeps the wine lively and brings great finesse. The grapes come from 0.85ha in Les Tessons, a prime mid-slope parcel on 40–50cm of clay, similar to Luchets.HK$10,700.00 -

100% new wood, to bottle in April. The wood comes from mixed forests, as Jean-Pierre thinks Tronçais doesn’t work here. A bright fresh crimson ruby. More floral more sensual, the early morning rose says Jean-Pierre. This is more quintessentially Vosne than the Brûlées, with a lifted and balanced flair, a mix of darked red fruits, avoiding the blacker side. White pepper spice becomes more apparent at the end.
