The 2022 Meursault Vendanges Sélectionnées opens in the glass with aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, confit orange and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's bright and lively, concluding with a saline finish. It's derived from vines just below Les Santenots. 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.
