The 2022 vintage of Chinon is simply divine, achieving exceptional quality with an outstanding score of 4.9/5. This year, the vineyard overcame significant climatic challenges: intense summer heat and drought, miraculously balanced by a much-needed rain on September 2. The result? Grapes with perfect ripeness and a rare freshness for such a sunny year. Compared to other Loire appellations producing red wines, Chinon stands out with its masterful balance of finesse and power, offering flavors that surpass even the acclaimed 1989 vintage, as noted by Fabrice Gasnier. The harvest, around 40 hl/ha, reflects average yields with notable variability. This unique and incomparable 2022 vintage captures the essence of the Loire terroir while rising to legendary status, blending freshness and richness in every sip.
