In Andy Howard MW’s Chablis 2020 vintage report, the top-scoring wines mainly consisted, somewhat unsurprisingly, of grand cru and premier cru wines.
A vintage marked by classicism, both of these quality tiers showed distinct terroir influence in 2020, as well as good ageing potential, although command much higher prices.

However, Petit Chablis was also very successful in 2020, with many wines showing an attractive stone-fruit character combined with freshness and approachability.
