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

Burghound (89)(this has about 50% declassified 1er in it). A slightly fresher nose freely reveals its aromas of pear, apple and lemon rind along with prominent petrol nuances.

Burgundy | - | 92-95 (IB) | HK$6,825.00 | ||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)A bright even purple. While there is plenty of fruit on the nose, the tannins can also be seen. On the palate, the wine tightens up considerably and the granitic tannins do appear, but there is so much fruit to cover them. In the end, this is very well balanced at 14% - needs that to manage the tannins. Drink from 2032-2040+. Tasted: December 2023. |

Perfectly poised, juicy, yet with a classical structure suggestive of a higher appellation. Drink from 2025-2029. Tasted: December 2023. |

Burgundy | - | 90-93 (BH) | HK$4,435.00 | |||||
Burghound (90-93)An overtly floral and markedly spicy nose is quite restrained if exceptionally pretty with its cool array of red and blue pinot fruit scents laced with hints of orange peel and herbal tea. Here too the middleweight flavors possess a lovely texture as well as a subtle minerality that adds a sense of lift to the well-delineated, balanced and dusty finish that is sneaky long. Lovely and very Chambolle in character. |

Burgundy | - | 93-95 (IB) | HK$7,525.00 | |||||
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)A blend from two plots with different characters, and it seems to be working well. A bright even purple of medium density. The nose is more forthcoming than Cras. The energy allied to a perfect pitch of ripeness. A fine density of fruit, ripe red berries, and a fine marriage between acidity and fine-grained tannins. A lovely balanced finish. Just on 13%. Drink from 2031-2038. Tasted: December 2023. |

Burghound (88-91)(from Les Condemennes, Les Athets and Les Babillières). A more floral-suffused nose speaks mostly of spicy red and dark raspberry scents. The supple lighter weight flavors possess an attractive mouthfeel and evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the youthfully austere and impressively long if mildly tangy finish. |

Burghound (88-90)(this includes the fruit from the domaine’s .6 ha parcel of Au Bas de Combe as well as fruit from Les Lavières and the villages portion of Aux Grandes Vignes). Here the expressive nose blends hints of cassis and red berry liqueur with those of soft spice and newly turned earth. There is a lovely texture to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that also conclude in a firm, mildly warm and serious but not especially rustic or youthfully austere finish |

Decanter (95)Méo's Boudots is striking in its purity of fruit, with pure mulberry aromas and peony, smoke, and earth notes. The texture is silky, yet there is also impressive density and length. The grapes come from a parcel of just over a hectare at the base of the slope. This delicious wine is a model of elegance and finesse that demonstrates the virtues of the Vosne side of the village. Méo relates that he has revolutionized his barrel regime and that almost everything is aged in light toast casks. |
