We were thrilled to come across this small parcel of excellent 2022s from a domaine that is highly coveted among collectors, yet which has very little presence in the U.S. market. Now run by Justine Clerget, this fourth-generation domaine makes a miniscule quantity of wine from some truly enviable holdings in Chambolle, Vosne, Morey, and Vougeot.
Leading off, the 2022 Morey-St-Denis Les Crais Blanc (the only white made by Clerget) is "really well balanced, the best I remember" according Japser Morris of Inside Burgundy, offering a rare example of what Chardonnay can achieve in this Pinot Noir-dominated appellation. "Worth seeking out" per Vinous' Neal Martin is the village Chambolle-Musigny for its "sense of vibrancy and tension ... with a very well-controlled and persistent finish," while the "beautifully layered" Chambolle-Musigny Aux Croix presents a sharp buy for collectors looking to maximize their purchasing power. The Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes with its "joyous, almost rumbustious energy" and "silky smooth texture" is a quintessential example of this lieu-dit that will cruise for years, right alongside the "well delineated and linear" Echezeaux En Orveaux that Morris declares "will emerge as a charming and graceful" rendition in the due course of time.
One look at the current market for Clerget's wines will tell you that opportunities like this don't come along often, and with only limited quantities available to us, serious collectors should jump at the chance to add these boutique beauties to their cellars. |
