2022, A Long-Awaited Vintage
2022 Louis Moreau Chablis Burgundy
When spring of 2022 rolled around, the long-suffering growers of Chablis were ready to catch a break.
For three seasons, Mother Nature had cast down as much springtime frost and hail as she could muster, decimating yields and leaving many fermenting tanks empty. But in 22, the weather turned warm.
And it held. Come September, tanks were full again. Finally Chablis growers had A Long-Awaited Vintage, as the Chablis Commission called it. The quality of the year had one Chablis grower callng it a truly magnificent harvestHaving some better yields and delicious healthy fruit made it all something we needed after a tough and tiny 2021.
In a normal year, Louis Moreaus Chablis drinks like a Premier Cruhence the stellar ratings from Wine Access members. But the gorgeous 2022 is on a new level entirely.
Chalky, voluminous, and alive with crunchy fruit, its mesmerizing stuff that shows off one of the best Chablis vintages in recent memory. Perfect for a roast chicken or platter of peel-and-eat shrimp but delicious at all times, its the kind of bottle you always want on hand.

The Break They Neededand Then Some
Over their centuries in Chablis, the Moreau family has accumulated 124 acres of 4045-year-old vines. The 2022 Chablis is a domaine bottling, which means the grapes are harvested entirely from, and the wine is bottled on the estate. The 2022 showcases the vigor of very healthy grapes farmed under the philosophy known as la lutte raisone (the reasoned struggle,), which sharply limits the use of chemicals.
Louis Moreau ferments their Chablis entirely in stainless steel with native yeastsas classic as it comes. Ten months of aging in those same tanks allows for the wine to bloom, as malolactic fermentation resolves the wines pointillist detail into harmonious brushstrokes. Weve been waiting two years to get our hands on this edition. Dont let it pass you by.
Wine Access Tasting Note
Pale straw, with silver and green streaks throughout the glass. The nose starts with wet stones, minerals, salted lemon peel, white nectarine, and jasmine. Clean, crisp, and detailed on the palate, with plenty of crunchy angles that add further precision and cut. This Chablis feels transparent and weightlessits just as this cool part of the world intended Chablis to be. Drink now2029.
