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 (92)The 2022 Pommard Village offers up aromas of sweet red berries, plums, spices and rose petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and lively palate with a taut, ethereal profile that reflects the fact that most of the cuvée is derived from the cool, northeasterly exposures of the windy lieu-dit of Valmuriens. The beautifully refined tannins, however, reflect the quality of Bouley's viticulture. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2022 Volnay 1er Cru Carelle sous la Chapelle is very suave and integrated for a wine that can sometimes be one of the blockier cuvées in the range. Offering up notes of dark berries, cherries and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and layered palate, it's rich and textural, with ripe tannins and a sweet core of fruit. |

Wine Advocate (91)The 2022 Volnay Village offers up aromas of cassis, cherries, rose petals and baking chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and textural palate with good density and structure. It's the usual blend combining holdings in the rich, clay soils of lieux-dits Poisots, Famines and Cros Martin—which bring fat and flesh—with the thinner, whiter soils of Ez Blanches above the Clos de Chênes—that lend the wine its tension and relief. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2022 Volnay Clos de la Cave now incorporates some younger vines that were planted with high-quality selections of "Pinot Fin," which seems to only have amplified its floral, ethereal style. Wafting from the glass with notes of peonies, orange zest, rose petals and violets mingled with sweet red berries, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a suave, textural profile and a long, mineral finish. As readers may remember, it derives from a sloping parcel just below the tree line that's shaded earlier in the evening than climats situated lower down the slope. |

Its more powerful, structured profile reflects its origins, from vines that see all-day sun and little in the way of breeze and located in the red clay soils below premier cru Carelles. |
