Burgundy En-Primeur 2022
2022 is a year of fleshy and generous wines of character, with freshness and often a many flavoured and mouth-watering finish. The drinking windows are wide and many wines will be approachable in youth.

The Handfords Burgundy En Primeur 2022 Offer is now open.
At last, this was a season of cheer for vine growers in Burgundy. For the first time in five years growers could dream of a normal harvest. The only climatic event of significance was a huge rain storm (two of them in fact) in June. But for a little hail damage in Gevrey, and even some physical destruction by lightning, there was as much benefit as soil waters were replenished in advance of another hot and dry ripening season.
So berries were plump, full of juice and with plenty of flavour. Red wines are nicely poised in the Cotes de Nuits as they retain finer and slightly more pliable tannins than we’ve seen in recent years. Everything seems beautifully ripe and in good balance. In short, 2022 is a year of fleshy and generous wines of character, with freshness and often a many flavoured and mouth-watering finish. The drinking windows are wide and many wines will be approachable in youth.
Many wines will need to be allocated, in some cases by the single bottle. For the most difficult wines we will finalise allocations by 19th January.
Orders will be confirmed and invoiced for payment by return and by bank transfer or debit cards. We do not accept credit cards for en Primeur and in bond offers, or for duty payments.
