Jasper Morris: 89-92 Points
Mid crimson. A deliciously perfumed bouquet of grapes picked at perfect ripeness. Starts with an agreeable pure pinot then kicks on with extra concentration at the back of the palate. Tannins nicely folded in. Harmonious.
Burghound: 87-89 Points
Here too there is enough wood present to merit pointing out framing the slightly more elegant essence of red berry fruit aromas that are nuanced by hints of newly turned earth and spice wisps. There is once again a really lovely texture to the delicious flavors that deliver excellent length on the balanced bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. Impressive. (Drink starting 2027)
Vinous: 87-89 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir a blend of two vineyards offers vivid red cherry raspberry and light bergamot scents on the nose well-defined perhaps not with quite the same class as the Passetoutgrains. The harmonious palate has impressive grip quite Volnay-like in style unsurprising given that the vines conjoin the appellation quite sumptuous on the finish. Worth seeking out. (Drink between 2025-2035)
Wine Advocate: 88 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir delivers aromas of cherries plums and sweet berries followed by a medium-bodied lively and fine-boned palate. The 2022 vintage was showing well during my annual barrel tasting chez Lafarge emphasizing the charming pretty side of the year. The team began picking on August 26 another early harvest. As usual reds were destemmed in some cases manually and élevage is taking place in predominantly used barrels with the Lafarge's habitual racking with aeration. The result is wines with a resolutely old-school style that have a good track record of evolving gracefully in the cellar. Published: Jan 18 2024
