Tasting Notes
Vinous 86-88
The 2022 Beaune Les Boucherottes 1er Cru has a punchy nose, showing some stem addition that will require time to integrate. The palate is medium-bodied with a peppery entry, moderate depth, fine body and a very subtle meatiness toward the finish. It just needs to muster a little finesse. Tasted at merchants’ 2022 Burgundy tastings in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2035
Burghound 92
Once again there is an appealing air quality to the pretty blend of mostly red and dark cherry scents that exude a subtle earthiness. The sleek, refined and more generously proportioned, if less concentrated, flavors possess a beguiling texture while retaining good delineation on the youthfully austere, complex and balanced finale. While this should be capable of rewarding up to a decade of keeping, it should be approachable after only 4 to 5 years of keeping.
