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

Vinous (96-98)The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has darker fruit on the nose than the Clos de la Roche: blackberry and bilberry, crushed violet, and plenty of forest floor commingling with light granitic scents. The terroir really shines through here. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, very harmonious with a cashmere texture. There’s impressive weight on the finish with outstanding tension. I thought the 2021 was a knockout last year… This is, too. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)A bright pink edge to the purple. Very striking, very immediate, totally red fruit, very convincing essence of raspberry, with some ripe redcurrants behind. Fills the mouth, not quite the same intensity at the back as the Clos de la Roche but the Clos St-Denis does have quality finesse at the finish. Drink from 2030-2038. |

The Guffens-Heynen Saint-Veran Premiers Jus 2022 has been meticulously produced in the noble terroirs of southern Burgundy, in the reputable commune of Saint-Véran. Deeply rooted in the region's rich, limestone clay soils, its lustrous Chardonnay bunches bear the distinctive mark of their origin. The result is an elegant, terroir-driven white wine, showcasing the outstanding fruit quality derived from old vines and low yields. Esteemed producers Guffens-Heynen, known for their tenacity and precision in winemaking, immaculately hand-harvest their fruit, nurturing each bunch from vine to glass. Fermentation in oak barrels lends a finesse and depth to the Chardonnay. The Guffens-Heynen Saint-Veran Premiers Jus 2022 exudes freshness with a vibrant minerality, complemented by nuanced aromas of ripe citrus fruits, green apple, and subtle floral undertones. A sensation of creaminess pervades the palate, rounded off by a resonating, well-balanced finish. This exquisite mono-varietal Chardonnay is a worthy ambassador of the Guffens-Heynen legacy of crafting supreme terroir wines. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (94-96)The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru contains 30% stems this year, which is translated onto the nose distinct from Jadot's other reds: cracked black pepper and damp earth infuse the red fruit and lend the complexity underlying their inclusion. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip and much more depth than the previous vintage, with a slightly powdery/chalky finish. There’s plenty of energy and tension from start to finish; this should age in consummate style. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)Two barrels, both new, 25% whole bunch vinification. Very reductive, partly from the barrel. However, the wine shows through on the palate with just a slightly dry finish. This rougher edge is the reduction speaking. While there is a fair weight of fruit here, the reduction is winning for now, but note that this wine has not yet been racked. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: December 2023. |

Burghound (89-91)Outstanding Top Value. A perfumed and very pretty nose freely offers its combination of white orchard fruit, zest and discreet wood influence. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is rich and generous with evident minerality that adds a sense of lift to the bright and clean finish that is shaped by citrus-tinged acidity. This is lovely and worth checking out. |
