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 (88-90)One of the lighter wines in colour. A pretty, almost floral bouquet. Nothing sturdy here but it is extremely pleasing. Not full but not weak, not long but with an adequate finish. Just a really pretty wine for spring and early summer. Drink from 2026-2031. Tasted: October 2023. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (89-91)The 2022 Beaune Cras 1er Cru was more reduced than the preceding Beaune Grèves and demands more coaxing: darker fruit and a light marine influence at play, but it will need time. The palate is medium-bodied and more muscular than the Grèves. Impressive depth and grip, quite bold towards the finish if missing the same sense of panache. |

Burgundy | - | 90-92 (IB) |

£260.00 |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)A fuller yellow, with a softer nose, almost buttery, rather attractive. This is quite gentle at the front of the palate, gains in weight further behind, with a mix of light acidity and slight youthful bitterness. The Beaune Bressandes Blanc remains a discreet wine but attractive. Drink from 2027-2032. Tasted: October 2023. |

Crafted with scintillating precision, the elegant Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre 2022 is the epitome of classic French white. Produced in the renowned vineyards of Burgundy, its pedigree mirrors excellence and tradition associated with the Louis Michel family since 1850. The hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes proffer a wine of exquisite character, with tightly-woven minerality hinting at the kimmeridgian clay-limestone terroir. The wine's deft vinification, free from oak to retain purity of fruit and terroir expression, creates a vibrant aromatic profile. Subtle notes of citrus fruit intermingle with hints of dried honey, creating a tantalising nose. A crisp acidity on the palate is balanced with a profound depth, culminating in a protracted finish that reveals the longevity of this splendid offering. Indulge in the Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre 2022, a true gem of Chablis, encapsulating virginity and complexity of Burgundy's best Chardonnay. |

Truly a testament to classic French viticulture, the Malandes Chablis 2022 is an elegantly balanced white wine. Born in the prestigious vineyards of Burgundy, it is crafted by Domaine des Malandes, a producer celebrated for instilling excellence and tradition in every bottle. Justly expressing the rich Chablis terroir, it is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, hand-picked during the peak of maturity. The wine sees fermentation in stainless steel vats, a method contributing to its noted purity and freshness. With a scent reminiscent of green apple and Meyer lemon - the palate articulates an enchanting interlude of mineral, delicate citrus, and floral notes, resulting in a well-defined, crisp finish. Aged to perfection, the Malandes Chablis 2022 illuminates a sophisticated palate and is a brilliant complement to seafood and mild, creamy cheeses. This outstanding wine stunningly encapsulates classic Chablis character, seamlessly blending depth, mineral intensity, and sublime fruit. |

Vinous (87)The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers bright orchard fruit, particularly orange blossom, on the nose that will be difficult to resist in its youth. The palate is rounded with a smooth texture, lightly spiced with a dab of lemongrass perking up the finish. Delightful regional white Burgundy. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2022 Beaune Teurons 1er Cru is fully de-stemmed for the first time. This leans more towards red fruit on the nose, though maybe because of the lack of stems, it doesn't quite have the personality or freshness as the Tuvilains. The palate is well-balanced with lively red fruit and good depth, and the 35% new oak neatly integrated with fine depth on the finish. I feel it will improve with time in bottle. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-88)Made up from the usual 60:40 below Meursault and below Puligny balance. A pretty lemon and lime colour. A touch of gunflint reduction, quite chiselled more than plump, but then riper aromatics emerge with some honeysuckle. |

Wine Advocate (91)Piuze's new 2022 Chablis La Butte "O" comes from the lieu-dit Butteaux but outside the confines of the premier cru. It's an attractive effort redolent of pear, toasted nuts, bee pollen, white flowers and youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with racy acids and a long mineral finish, it's a fine addition to the range. |
