Vinous: 91-93 Points
The 2022 Santenay Le Beaurepaire 1er Cru has a similar bouquet to the Auxey-Duresses when compared side-by-side. The medium-bodied palate is lightly spiced. The stem addition is less apparent with white pepper and clove filtering through the black fruit with a quite elegant finish with a bit more bite. (Drink between 2026-2038)
Wine Advocate: 91-93 Points
Aromas of minty cherries dark berries spices and loamy soil introduce the 2022 Santenay 1er Cru Le Beaurepaire Rouge a medium to full-bodied velvety and perfumed red with a charming core of fruit that's framed by supple powdery tannins. In the August 2021 Week 2 Issue of The Wine Advocate I devoted a feature to the wines and work of Jean-Marc Vincent so I direct readers to that piece rather than attempt to reprise all its minutiae here. High-density plantings of massal selections high canopies that are either hedged late or interwoven by hand soils cultivated using small caterpillar-tracked engines instead of tractors long macerations with significant percentages of whole bunches and long élevage on the lees?these are just some of the pieces of the puzzle. If Jean-Marc's 2020s set a new benchmark for contemporary Santenay his 2022s come close to rivaling them: complex textural whites of substance and structure and serious sapid reds that will reward patience.

Jasper Morris: 89-91 Points
The recipe is 70% whole bunch a few pump-overs a couple of punch-downs otherwise leave it to itself. A rich deep purple in colour with a wealth of fruit on the palate. Very dark berries here some peonies too several waves of flavour. This is fully ripe but kept fresh enough by the whole bunches. Jean-Marc thinks Beaurepaire needs this level of ripeness to avoid rusticity. Spicy finish.

Up the hill to the 1er cru Beaurepaire located above the main part of the village. This a lovely and expressive wine. It
