We are delighted to offer you this selection of 2022 Burgundy in bottle. Our senior consultant Anthony Hanson MW’s report on the 2022 vintage and wines follows.

The 2022 growing season was very different to that of 2021, being both much warmer, and drier. I was in Burgundy during much of the summer and harvest period of 2022, and the question on my mind was whether these wines would be too rich and dense to offer balance and freshness.

But as I had the chance to personally visit from March 2023 to January 2024 most of the domaines in this offer, and taste from cask or bottle, it quickly became clear that we had something quite special here – both whites and reds. Indeed, I cannot recall ever tasting a vintage at this youthful stage so serious yet charming as 2022. I have no hesitation, from a quality point of view, in recommending you dive deep into 2022, from regional Bourgogne level on up to the grand crus, for both early drinking, and longer cellaring prospects.

This year we would like to make special mention of prices, which as we know, have risen over the years. In 2021, with often tiny yields, and wines in high demand, many prices rose a great deal. But yields in 2022 are normal (and 2023 yields are high), so we have been clear with producers that we will not support still higher prices. This is a commitment we make to you, and communicated clearly to our friends in Burgundy. If there have been any price increases to us from domaines from 2021 to 2022, we have absorbed them. Indeed, our entire 2022 offer is priced lower than our 2021 offer. Given the superb quality in 2022 – surely a modern day classic – we think this makes the chance to acquire them a compelling one.
