  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: An intense, expressive, highly refined nose with layers of red berries, pure strawberries, spice and a chalky minerality. Wow, so enchanting. The same complexity and aroma profile on the palate with that very pure red berry core to die for and additional aromas of cola and gingerbread as well as a beautiful salinity. Despite the youth this wine is already so easy to drink with ultra-fine tannins, superb freshness, a silky texture, no excess in any category and quite a perfect balance.

  Tasted at La Paulee Singapore. Great concentration with lots of red and purple fruit. Really nice darker spices underpinning adding both complexity and structure. Great freshness and vibrancy.
  
  Anticipated score: 95-97.

  Tasted at La Paulee Singapore organised by Vintage at Mandarin Oriental. Did not have time to write the notes, only the rating score.

  Tasting the 2022s from Bruno Clair. Barrels typically used no longer than 3 years. The Villages wines showed common features of graphite and animal notes and were of consistent quality across vineyards. Bruno Clair’s array of wines full reflect the diversity of terroirs they own. Of the Villages, Les Champs Perdrix was the most promising and Bonnes Mares took the gold medal. The reds outshone the whites from vat.
  
  Tasting note:
  An intense wine with slightly animal notes (likely from reduction). Layered with levels of mineral notes. A balanced palate that offers both freshness and soft but firm tannin, the latter maybe just a tad off-ripe. As with the Drouhin-Laroze Clos de Bèze this will probably require 5-10 years of bottle age to fully shine.
