2022 WHITE BURGUNDIES HAVE LANDED
ABOUT THE VINTAGE
Wine Spectator
Drink or hold. Abundant rain in June led to a hot, dry summer, yielding a healthy, good-sized crop and fresh, balanced whites
Jancis Robinson
This vintage more than delivered on quality and sorely needed quantity (75.4% more wine produced overall than in 2021). The growing season was incredibly hot but, due to large volumes of precipitation in June, vines weathered the summer well. Wines are admirably fresh but without the same concentration as in 2019 and 2020 and without the austerity of 2021. Approachable now with medium term aging potential for the best wines.
Wine Scholar Guild
Drink or Hold. Winter 2021-2022 was a dry one in Chablis, with just 130 mm between November and the end of February: less than half the normal total of 300 mm. It was also mild, and the buds began to move early, at the end of March. Frost followed in early April with sporadic losses throughout the vines; the vines recovered well, though, with even secondary Chardonnay buds setting fruit this year. Flowering, between mid-May and end-May, was early and successful. After that, summer was propitious: a hot June with ample rain which sent vegetative growth surging, then a hot though much dryer July, with just one rain episode. August continued hot, with two episodes of rain, so the vines were comfortable throughout – and an early harvest followed from the end of August, with most of the wines snug in their vats by mid-September. The wines are fresh, lively, juicy and enticing, with ample youthful charm. They have the constitution to be aged too, and the best are intense, powerful and complete but not overblown.
