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

The 2022 Beaune Tuvilains 1er Cru has a lovely bouquet with brambly black fruit, loamy and light iris flower scents. Cohesive and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh, marine-tinged black fruit and a sorbet-fresh finish. Very fine.In BondSG$592.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (87-89)
Racked recently. Very pretty mid purple, lots of energy, this is more concentrated than most. Fairly punchy, minor reduction, plenty of stuffing, good dark fruit. Ticks the boxes very nicely. Drink from 2025-2028.In BondSG$258.00 -

A little darker purple. More plums in the bouquet along with dark raspberry. This is a fully satisfying wine with a deep rich fruit and just the right structure to finish. There is still a lot more to come - another wine which needs more elevage. Drink from 2032-2040.In BondSG$1,110.00 -

(3x75cl) 2022Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)
A concentrated central core of intense purple which mirrors the intensity of the fruit on the palate. Possibly less nuanced than I have sometimes tasted it, but early days, A very refined finish. More to come later on the nose, I suspect. Perfectly judged ripeness in the fruit. Drink from 2032-2040.In BondSG$1,081.00 -

Still in barrel like the rest below. Concentrated purple. Succulent yet with perfume. There is a fine tension to the dark fruit which cannot help offering its juicy dark raspberry aspect. Excellent weight on the palate, fine long aftertaste. Drink from 2028-2034.In BondSG$647.00 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (97-99)
(5-Star) An intense mid purple, the bouquet just made me burst into smiles at first sniff. This wine is always too multi-faceted to admit of simple fruit descriptors. There are quite a few berries in the bowl. Some fresh red fruit then much darer notes, I turn lightened up by the peppery notes to finish. This really kicks on magically behind! 75-80 whole bunch vinification. Drink from 2035.In BondSG$1,770.00 -

(5x75cl) 2022Burghound (93)
(from a .27 ha parcel). An attractively fresh mix of red and dark currant is laced with ample floral and soft spice nuances. The supple and more refined middle weight flavors possess a bit more energy that carries over to the relatively powerful and lingering, and decidedly firm, finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. Like the Bussières, this is the best vintage for the Combottes that I’ve seen in sometime. I would add that Combottes is normally a relatively forward Chambolle 1er but that’s not the case in 2022.In BondSG$1,760.00 -

Burghound (97)
(from a .40 ha parcel). Here too the ultra-fresh and beautifully perfumed nose offers up pure liqueur-like aromas of essence of red cherry that are cut with a plenitude of floral, especially rose petal and lavender, spice and exotic tea nuances that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The mouthfeel of the medium weight and overtly mineral-driven flavors is strikingly refined while delivering equally superb length on the almost painfully intense and beautifully delineated and youthfully austere finish. Sheer class and textbook Amoureuses.In BondSG$4,030.00 -
Burghound (94)
(from a 1.75 ha parcel of vines averaging 40+ years of age). A cool, elegant and airy nose reflects notes of both red and blue pinot fruit, exotic tea and plenty of floral whiffs, particularly violet and lavender. The sleek and sophisticated medium weight flavors exude an almost palpable minerality as the mouthfeel is akin to rolling tiny pebbles around the mouth, all wrapped into dusty, palate soaking and beautifully long finale. This is outstanding though a wine that will need at least some patience.In BondSG$895.00 -

(contains some premier cru juice from Fuées; from 8 different lieux-dits that include Les Athets, Les Barottes, Clos de l’Orme, Les Cras, Creux Baissants, Echézeaux, Les Mombies and Pas de Chat). A super-fresh and equally bright nose combines perfumed notes of plum, black cherry and subtle spice wisps. The rich, concentrated and seductive medium weight flavors exhibit unusually good power on the lingering, balanced and complex finale that is shaped by fine-grained tannins. This is an excellent Chambolle villages and worth your interest. Moreover, it’s sufficiently supple that it could be enjoyed young.In BondSG$479.00 -
