My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible.

My instincts on this one is it will require more cellaring than the previous other five 22’s.

The nose says, it is in a dumb phase. Not showing much. Muddled, brooding dark fruits, not very distinctive earth and withering dark flowers.

The palate fruits are nice. Juicy, ripe but again not one fruit stands out over all others. Dark cherries, ripe strawberries, some nice blackberries, plum, raspberries with the lightest blue fruit hues. Tannins here but far less pronounced than the previous five wines. Like the others, dusty, dry top soils, limestone powder, dry river stone, black tea, dark rich soil with dry leaves, dry twigs, 65% new oak here but you wouldn’t sense that high of use, so, barrel shavings, lightly grilled meats, dry tobacco & leather, very light baking spices, baking soda/powder, nice, dark spice-not overdone, dry herbs, moist, volcanic clay, withering to dry dark, red flowers, nice acidity with an nicely; balanced, elegant, well made finish that lasts two-minutes that run nice fruit to dry minerals.

This is a great burgundy — pure flavor, clear, bright red fruit, medium acid, low tannins. At $75, it’s a good value, although I may still prefer the Domaine Coquard at $55 even more. — 19 hours ago

As someone else noted, a rare bottle of a super rare red grape from Burgundy called “Cesar” (10 hectares in the world) — very dark color, rich, dark fruits, some noticeable structure, this needs 3-5 years aging to settle down, a great “stump your wine friends” wine!! — a year ago

Thanks to global warming 👍🏼

K&L notes as follows

We finally got our hands on some of Wiston’s remarkable Blanc de Blancs. This 100% Chardonnay bottling is pressed in their traditional wooden Coquard basket press, fermented and rested in neutral French oak for a year, before aging more than two years on the lees in bottle. Reserve wines range back to 2008, with the 2018 harvest making up most of this iteration. Look for aromas of white flowers, baked apple, crushed quince, pie crust, stony minerals, chalk, saline, and oyster shell notes complete this magical wine. More volume and golden ripe fruit here versus the racier other NV wines. Beautiful stuff! Limited quantity.
