AOP Chablis 2022

Size: 3,716 hectares

AOP Chablis accounts for 65% of all Chablis production. Geology and climate are the main drivers in shaping the precise, distinctive style of Chablis – one that producers around the world continue to try and emulate.

Kimmeridgian bedrock is the key factor – deposited over 150 million years ago during the Upper Jurassic period. The limestone/clay marl soils contain very high densities of marine fossil deposits which, combined with a cooler, continental climate, encourage the distinctive style of Chablis – crisp acidity, mineral notes with restrained fruit ripeness.

2022 vintage

In 2022, the grapes were healthy and although the hot, dry summer encouraged additional stone fruit flavours, there is plenty of concentration and acidity to balance. Most Chablis is fermented and matured in steel tanks but a few more producers used a touch of oak in 2022. Where sensitively done, this has added even more complexity.
