Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 21, 2024 - Tasting through Bruno Clair's impressive 2022 portfolio. There is much to like about the wines and this vintage in general. These are complex, deep wines with an enchanting, bright red fruit perfume. The purity is impressive, and silky elegance can be found in all the wines down to the village level (their Gevrey Village has to be one of the best village level Burgs I've had). The star of the lineup was unsurprisingly their bright, pure and refined Clos de Beze (96pts+), followed by a very promising, slightly more muscular and mineral-driven Bonnes Mares (95pts).

TN: A bit muted on the nose right now. The palate shows the potential of this wine much better. Beside some ripe red fruit and crushed rocks, this was the wine in the lineup that had the most prominent oak notes with quite some toast as well as some chocolate notes. A bit atypical in the lineup but still quite good. This was the best of the three Marsannay we had, ahead of the Grasses Tetes (89pts) and Vaudenelles (87pts) which were a bit simpler.
