Tasting notes
Aromas of sweet orchard fruit, white flowers and oyster shell introduce the 2022 Chablis Village, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and charming wine that's pure and saline. This cuvée benefits from a considerable proportion of old vines, planted in the 1950s and 1960s, and it's hand harvested in small cases.

Full bottle 1,300 g. Very pure indeed. Vindicates the reputation of the 2022 vintage in Chablis. Juicy, green-fruit flavours and some suggestion of wet stones. Very neat and already approachable but no hurry to drink. Super-pure. (JR)
(from domaine fruit). There is reasonable Chablis typicity present on the aromas of mineral reduction, iodine and cool white fleshed fruit. There is also good volume and richness to the delicious medium weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension, all wrapped in a refreshing, clean, dry and sleek finale. This is very good for its level plus it should reward a few years of keeping if desired.
Ripe fruit, almost a touch of pineapple but pulled back by stony citrus. Dry, chewy, firm. Good balance between ripe fruit and freshness and a nicely chalky finish. (JH)
