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

William Fevre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Cote Bouguerots
(12x75cl)
2022

|
Burgundy | - | 96 (DC) | HK$9,871.22 | ||||
Decanter (96)The very steep aspect of Côte Bouguerots is highlighted by a much greater emphasis on minerality than Fevre's Bougros. This is a grand cru is every way - so much drive on the palate with plenty of extract, concentration, salinity and length. Certain to keep very well but this is also surprisingly approachable early on. DIdier Seguier says it's likely to close down after 18-24 months but this is clearly a fine example with masses of potential. |

The William Kelley Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois 2022 illustrates fine Burgundian artistry. Hailing from Gevrey-Chambertin, a revered winemaking commune in France's Côtes de Nuits, the wine is a marvel from the competent hands of the venerated winemaker, William Kelley.

The 2022 exemplifies this, with hand-picked, optimally ripened Pinot Noir grapes subjected to traditional Burgundian vinification processes. Once harvested, the grapes undergo fermentation in open wooden vats, followed by an extended maturation in French oak barrels, all monitored with precision. This yields a wine with rich, expressive aromas and a complex palate, boasting of ripe black fruits underscored by subtle oak nuances. The William Kelley Gevrey-Chambertin Aux Etelois 2022 shines in its depth and complexity, guaranteeing a spectacular experience for connoisseurs of fine wines. |
