Don't Miss! - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Bertrand Chevillon, who is normally pretty restrained, described 2022 as a "superb vintage despite some of our vines in the southern part of Nuits being struck by hail. [...] A more reserved nose grudgingly reflects notes of poached plum, earth, plenty of sauvage character and interesting whiffs of crushed star anise. There is a bit more minerality present on the vibrant and intense medium weight plus flavors that possess excellent delineation that carries over to the firm, compact and tautly muscular finish. This youthfully austere effort is going to require extended patience as it's both backward and very tightly wound yet oh so promising!
