Vintage Reflections: 2022

Burgundy vintages are a funny thing — they can be (almost) as divisive as politics. I doubt any vintage debate has gotten someone kicked out of a bar, but these discussions can get heated. Sommeliers and critics alike love to pick favorites, which can be good for the consumer or collector in some cases, while in other cases, it provides a biased perspective that can unfairly malign perfectly delicious wines. Over the past 20 years, we’ve seen 2004, 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2021 fall into this category, but I can tell you that I have enjoyed — immensely — wines from all five of these vintages from a range of producers.
