My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…
This one is being poured colder than I would like. Because of that, I will skip the nose.
Beautiful palate with nice viscosity. Round & lush. Meyer lemons, lime zest, amazing green apple, pineapple, yellow & white stone fruit, kiwi, thick caramel, heather honey, cream, white spice, grey volcanic minerals, excellent chalkiness, fresh & dry herbs, crumbly limestone, touch more woodiness than I would expect, very light flintiness, yellow lilies, jasmine and white spring flowers, well knitted, balanced, good tension & texture, elegantly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds landing on brilliant fruits, spice and soft earthiness.
93+ with 5 yrs or more in cellar.

2022 vintage. @Somm David T has a most excellent, in-depth and recent review on this vintage and wine dated April 19, 2025 (9.3). Couldn’t agree more with his assessments. He didn’t tackle the nose because of the wine serving temp then. It had a curious 3-5 year old Condrieu super floral, super stone fruit nose. I expected and wanted more acidity; got a veritable spring garden and lighter body/less acidity. Flavors and scents constantly shifting so impossible to pigeonhole. ADD in a wine glass. First time with this producer’s white wines and sincerely wondering if this is an outlier/region specific feature or how the whites generally show. 08.22.25.
