Domaine Burgaud produces a single wine: Côte Rôtie drawn from several lieux-dits across the appellation, including Côte Blonde, Champin, Leyat, Fongeant, Les Moutonnes, and Brosse. Pierre Burgaud works exclusively with Syrah, fully destemming the fruit and aging primarily in used barrels. The result is a restrained, harmonious expression of Côte Rôtie that favors elegance over showiness.

A Demanding Year, a Vintage of Balance

Following a rainy 2021 (1,100 mm), 2022 stood out for its pronounced dryness, with barely 350 mm of rain between March and late August. The vines grew sparingly, foliage remained discreet, and nature put the plants to the test.

Fortunately, a few late-August storms brought much-needed rain, reviving the vines with renewed freshness. Unlike the 2019 and 2020 vintages, September remained relatively cool with a few light showers. Ripening progressed naturally, without excessive sugar accumulation.

The result is a concentrated, dense wine of beautiful power, yet with a distinctly northern Rhône profile. It offers remarkable balance, combining structure, freshness, and moderate alcohol.
