Burgundy 2022 En Primeur

An opportunity to sample a range of styles from a clutch of excellent producers. Bachelet-Monnot’s Bourgogne Pinot Noir is based on their superb Maranges holdings in the south of the Côte de Beaune; Prunier’s Hautes-Côtes is lip-smacking, fruity and shows a little wildness, while Rollin’s example shows greater density and weight from vines up to 50 years old up. Crossing north to the Cote de Nuits, around the village of Arcenant due west of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Michel Gros’ Fontaine St Martin is a serious proposition and shows the value in the roads less travelled. These will drink on release but the Bachelet-Monnot and Gros wines will benefit from a few years in bottle. Case includes:6x Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Bachelet-Monnot6x Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Rouge, Rollin Père et Fils6x Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Fontaine Saint Martin, Michel Gros6x Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Michel Prunier et Fille  

A snapshot of Burgundy 2022 whites starting in the far north with an exciting new Chablis for our offer from the rising star that is Samuel Billaud. From the Côte d’Or, Domaine de Bellene’s Savigny is silky and cool while Rollin’s Pernand-Verglesses is notably full, ripe and rich, and we round things off in the far south with Château Fuissé’s golden, generous and fresh Saint-Véran. There is a little cellaring potential in all of these wines but they are full of charm and show the forward nature of 2022 beautifully.Case includes:6x Saint-Véran, Château Fuissé6x Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc, Domaine de Bellene6x Chablis, Samuel Billaud6x Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc, Rollin Père et Fils

A closer look at the southern reaches of the Côte d’Or, highlighting the range of styles of the 2022 Pinot Noirs, leading with a brilliant turn from Tollot-Beaut, whose Chorey-lès-Beaune Pièce du Chapitre combines great richness with a natural freshness. The Savigny-lès-Beaune from Domaine de Bellene shows some fine structure overlaid with gorgeous creamy red fruits, while the old vines of Borgeot’s Santenay have produced a wonderfully complex Pinot with a moreish mineral and savoury quality. Representing the Côte Chalonnaise and another example of the fringe villages performing especially well in the warmer vintages, Les Chaponniers from Jacqueson lightens things up a little further, offering a mix of ripe fruits with some classic crunch, and cool, chalky mineral notes.This collection will provide good early drinking and some sound mid-term cellaring.Case includes:6x Chorey-lès-Beaune, Pièce du Chapitre, Monopole, Tollot-Beaut6x Savigny-lès-Beaune, Vieilles Vignes, Domaine de Bellene6x Santenay, Vieilles Vignes, P & L Borgeot6x Rully, Les Chaponnières, P & M Jacqueson

Some of the grander premier crus from the most famous villages can be a stretch but here is a collection of Tanners’ favourites which won’t make you afraid of reaching for the corkscrew in a couple of years’ time. Samuel Billaud who joins our offer for the first time, brings a lesser-seen premier cru Fourneaux which will delight those looking for Chablis throwback. The Prudhon’s Saint-Aubins are always smart options and the Sentier du Clou is especially fine-tuned this year with great potential. Both whites show the more serious side of Burgundy 2022. The Clos du Val from Michel and Estelle Prunier leans in to the charming nature of the vintage but as is so often proved, it can keep for 30 years! Finally, the Clos de la Boutière from Bachelet-Monnot might be a best-ever release: good bones and energy, and lovely layers of fruit. These are all wines which will benefit some time in the cellar before approaching but the nature of the vintage will make them appealing on release!Case includes:6x Saint-Aubin Blanc 1er cru Sur le Sentier du Clou, Henri Prudhon6x Chablis 1er cru Fourneaux, Samuel Billaud6x Auxey-Duresses 1er cru Clos du Val, Michel Prunier et Fille6x Maranges 1er cru Les Clos Roussots, Bachelet-Monnot 2022

2022 is a fine vintage across the board but the grand cru reds show the greatest potential. Tollot-Beaut’s wonderfully expressive Corton-Bressandes represents the Côte de Beaune and all of that aromatic red fruit; Sebastian Odoul-Cocquard has produced the most inviting and seductive yet seriously structured Charmes-Chambertin; Drouhin-Laroze was a breathtaking visit and we have two incredible wines: ‘Bon-nez Mah-rez’ as Caroline Drouhin playfully called it, is dark, muscular and cool, very stylish and gives a true ‘terroir’ feel, while their sumptuous Clos de Vougeot has been lauded as the best in range this year!Case includes:3x Corton-Bressandes grand cru, Tollot-Beaut3x Bonnes Mares grand cru, Drouhin-Laroze3x Charmes-Chambertin grand cru, Odoul-Coquard3x Clos de Vougeot grand cru, Drouhin-Laroze 2022
