En Primeur | Burghound Recommends The Côte de Nuits 2022

Although the field of serious Burgundy critics is becoming ever more crowded, Allen Meadows (Burghound) still stands out as the original and the best. So, when he releases his review of a new vintage it is worth sitting up and taking notice. According to Burghound, 2022 has produced ripe, wonderfully refreshing, bright and transparent wines. While delicious for early drinking, they will provide ample reward after long-term cellaring. "The 2022s really are fun, they are a pleasure to drink. Fruit-forward wines are perfectly nice for the first glass but after that, the discerning Burgundy lover wants something more, such as substance, complexity and intellectual titillation. And this is where the 2022s shine because they offer these things as well as that pleasure component." Burghound

    The grapes for this cuvée were the last to be harvested, some 15 days after Fabien started picking on 5th September. This wine expresses the vibrant freshness one expects from the higher slopes of the Côte de Nuits, with charming raspberry and strawberry fruit flavours and a gentle alcohol level of 13%.

  • Burghound, January 2024, Score: 86-88

    There is enough reduction present to push the fruit to the background. More interesting are the racy and delicious middleweight flavors that retain good detail and a subtle minerality on the dusty, inviting and refreshing finish. This should be approachable young after 2 to 3 years of keeping. Drinking 2025+.

    This vineyard, like Les Longeroies, is in the north of the commune, on hard Comblanchien limestone and is recognised for producing one of the village’s more powerful wines. In some years, this cuvée can be a little reserved when tasting young, but, having been racked and put in cuve ahead of bottling, it was a sumptuous joy to taste in November 2023. Combining bilberry and blueberry fruits, with a lacquer of liquorice, the open sweetness of fruit is balanced by a charming saline minerality on the finish.

  • Burghound, January 2024, Score: 90-93

    Here a discreet application of wood surrounds the fresh, cool and restrained red and dark pinot fruit where a floral top note adds a touch of elegance. The more concentrated medium weight flavours possess excellent intensity while the moderately firm and youthfully austere finish flashes more evident minerality on the balanced and sneaky long finish. This is built to repay up to a decade of keeping but could reasonably be approached after 5 years. Drinking 2030+.

  • Wine Advocate, January 2024, Score: 90-92

    Offering up aromas of cherries, rapberries, rose petals and dark chocolate, Audoin's 2022 Marsannay Clos du ROy is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with bright acids and a succulent, charming profile.

  • Goedhuis, December 2023

    This superb wine embodies the ethos of Domaine Serafin. It comes from two different plots in the appellation, one with vines of 70 years old and the other just over 100 years old. Redolent of redcurrant jelly and loganberry, hints of vanilla pod and spiced oak, and a layer of rich tannic substance. Impressive.

  • Burghound, January 2024, Score: 89-92

    Here too there is enough wood and menthol to mention framing the more deeply pitched and gamier aromas of mostly dark currant and newly turned earth. The bigger and richer medium-bodied flavors display focused power that continues onto the lingering, firmer and more complex finish where moderate rusticity and wood appear. This serious effort always ages well and the 2022 version should be no exception. Drinking 2032+.

  • Jancis Robinson, December 2023, Score: 16+

    From 90-year-old vines. 100% new oak. Cask sample. Mid cherry. Deep raspberry and a little cassis on the nose. The oak adds real spice and complexity on the finish, ably balancing the deeper, concentrated fruit. Fine acidity and rounded, well-knit tannins. Even more classic than the regular village Gevrey. (MH) Drink 2025-2035.

  • Jasper Morris MW, November 2023, Score: 90-93

    100% new wood from here on. A bright mid purple. some concentration of a dark raspberry fruit here. Then kicks on, notably more depth of fruit here, pleasing concentration and fine length. A 2022 Gevrey to look forward to. Drink from 2030-2036.
