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

Discover the captivating intensity of Camille & Guillaume Boillot Meursault Les Clous 2022. This sublime expression of Burgundy's terroir hails from Meursault's respected appellation, nestled in the heart of France's celebrated wine region. An esteemed creation of Camille & Guillaume Boillot, the wine brilliantly showcases the duo's adept viticulture and winemaking practices. The grapes, meticulously selected, are nurtured in the unique chalky-clay soils of Les Clous vineyard, with the wine matured in small oak barrels. This traditional practice allows Les Clous to develop its signature depth of flavour. The 2022 vintage is exquisitely nuanced, with vibrant white fruit aromas, nuanced by subtle mineral undertones. On the palate, it's impressively complex, boasting luscious apple and pear notes, delicately accented by hints of walnut and lightly toasted brioche. Camille & Guillaume Boillot Meursault Les Clous 2022 is an enchanting testament to Burgundy's renowned winemaking heritage. |

Boasting a robust palette of golden fruit, complemented by refined minerality and delicate creamy nuances, this vintage exhibits subtle complexity and warm longevity that delightfully lingers on the palate. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Six barrels, two of them new. A medium to bright purple. The nose is invigorating with as little as 10% whole bunches, enough to add a floral note. This is lively on the palate, a Fremiets which has remembered it is in Volnay, not Pommard, delightfully stylish at the finish. Drink from 2032-2037. Tasted: October 2023. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)Planned to pull out 30% of the holding, but in the end 40% made more sense. So there is just 60% left of old virused vines. Hence only 3.5 barrels. Bright mid purple. The bouquet has a delicious, lifted, velvety red fruit. Floral and seductive, entirely red fruit, nothing black, so not too ripe, and with abundant energy. Fresh and even slightly peppery at the finish. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023. |

This is refined but it’s not necessarily a Charmes of lace and grace as focused power lurks in the background and thus some forbearance is in order |

The nose is refined and composed - perhaps the most mineral-driven and complex, with fabulous delineation. The medium-bodied palate has filigree tannins, perfectly judged acidity, and silky smooth with a perfectly poised finish. Sophisticated and tensile thanks to the limestone soils, this is a great Chambolle in the making. |
