    The Break They Needed…and Then Some

    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 calling it “a truly magnificent harvest…Having some better yields and delicious healthy fruit made it all something we needed after a tough and tiny 2021.”

    In a normal year, Louis Moreau’s Chablis drinks like a Premier Cru—hence the stellar ratings from Wine Access members. But the gorgeous 2022 is on a new level entirely. Chalky, voluminous, and alive with crunchy fruit, it’s mesmerizing stuff that shows off one of the best Chablis vintages in recent memory. 

    Over their centuries in Chablis, the Moreau family has accumulated 124 acres of 40–45-year-old vines. The 2022 Chablis is a domaine bottling, which means the grapes are harvested 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 raisonée (“the reasoned struggle,”), which sharply limits the use of chemicals.

    Louis Moreau ferments their Chablis entirely in stainless steel with native yeasts—as classic as it comes. Ten months of aging in those same tanks allows for the wine to bloom, as malolactic fermentation resolves the wine’s pointillist detail into harmonious brushstrokes.
