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

Wine Advocate (91)The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Concis des Champs is lovely, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums, cherries, dark berries and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with an ample core of fruit and a generous, charming profile, it will offer a broad drinking window. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2022 Saint-Aubin Les Champlots 1er Cru has what you might call a "minimalist" nose, Zen-like, with traces of flint and sea spray, though this is beautifully defined and focused. The palate is not the most concentrated, but it has a smooth and slightly honeyed texture (I wonder if there is any botrytised fruit here?). Tensile and quite persistent in the mouth, I would just like a little more minéralité in the last quarter. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Wine Advocate (94)Bessin-Tremblay’s 2022 Chablis 1er Cru La Forêt—a wine that in less-favorable years such as 2021 and 2024 becomes an ingredient in Montmains bottling—has turned out nicely. Opening in the glass to reveal notes of fresh hazelnuts, acacia, fennel and citrus peel, it’s medium to full-bodied, intense and crisp, with tangy acidity and a long, sapid finish. Chablis purists will enjoy comparing this with Montmains. |

Wine Advocate (95)Issuing from old vines in the middle of the historic part of Fourchaume, facing west/southwest, the 2022 Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume La Pièce Au Comte is superb. Matured in a combination of used oak (about one-third) with the remainder in stainless steel, it soars from the glass with a deep bouquet of grapefruit zest, Mirabelle plum, iodine and dried white flowers. It unites the perfumed generosity of the afternoon sun (it’s the first parcel the Bessins harvest) with classic Chablisien character, as it’s layered and concentrated yet racy and pure, with ample structuring extract and a long, saline finish. It’s a terrific wine, but with just 2,500 bottles made, it won’t be easy to find. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2022 Chablis Valmur Grand Cru is much more nuanced and terroir-driven than Droin's Grenouilles, the more integrated oak allowing the minéralité to shine through. The palate is well balanced with a tangy entry, hints of marmalade and quince filtering through the intense, quite concentrated fruit. Fine texture, notes of orange rind towards the persistent finish. Very fine. Bottled under Diam 10 Origine. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Jancis Robinson (17.5)Cask sample. Oak shows a little more here in the aroma than on most of the Boisset whites. Mealy and spiced and a touch of vanilla. Really creamy and rounded, so generous and caressing but balanced by great freshness. Embryonically delicious with a long, piercing finish. |

Jancis Robinson (19)Mid smudgy crimson. Stunningly vibrant aroma of red cherry and peony (winemaker Grégory Patriat suggests violets). I'd be happy to wear this as perfume. Smells intensely sweet but also tart and tangy. All that on the palate, too. Firm, dry texture, layered super-fine tannins are almost chalky. Fabulous wine. If only I could afford to drink it! I am suggesting an early start date for the drinking window because I could actually drink this now though it is sure to have a very long life. |

Jancis Robinson (16.5)Cask sample. So different from the creamy 'sweetness' of the Marsannay. More spicy, savoury, and a touch smoky. And no lack of pure citrus. Sour-fresh intensity on the palate balanced by tension from the acidity and still a rounded impression on the finish. Very long and slightly sour on the finish. Needs a little more time in bottle. |

The Jean-Claude Boisset Marsannay Blanc 2022 epitomises the elegance and finesse of Burgundian white wines. Crafted in the esteemed Marsannay appellation, this exquisite blanc is a testament to Jean-Claude Boisset’s dedication to terroir-driven winemaking. Sourced from meticulously selected vineyards, the 2022 vintage showcases hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes, nurtured in limestone-rich soils that impart a distinctive minerality. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, preserving the wine’s vibrant acidity and delicate aromatic profile. The Blanc undergoes a natural ageing process, allowing subtle complexities to unfold, with notes of citrus zest, white flowers, and a hint of almond on the palate. Renowned for his sustainable practices, Boisset ensures minimal intervention, highlighting the pure expression of Marsannay’s unique terroir. Ideal for pairing with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses, the Jean-Claude Boisset Marsannay Blanc 2022 is a refined choice for connoisseurs seeking sophistication in every sip. |
