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 closed nose, strawberries, spices, lots of minerality peak through. On the palate toast, spices, dark red berries, fresher, brighter red berries, gingerbread, minerality, hints of stems. Towering presence and high elegance but will need to flesh out and soften further in the cellar. But the balance is so enchanting, and so is the luxurious tannin structure. Wow, very promising. 95pts with upside.
