The 2022 Burgundian vintage is already shaping up to be one for the books, delivering Pinot Noirs with ripe, expressive fruit, fragrant aromatics, fine, integrated tannins, and alcohol levels sitting neatly around 13-13.5%. Now, with four years in bottle, the earlier-drinking appellations are really starting to hit their stride and deliver some joyous drinking.
Many of the top Grand Cru’s have prices which are now beyond the reach of many wine lovers, but Burgundy has so much more to offer. With that in mind, we are delighted to celebrate the humble entry point to the Burgundy pyramid: the Bourgogne Rouge. Often overlooked in favour of grander appellations, Bourgogne Rouge comes into its own in vintages such as 2022 and offers marvellous everyday drinking.
