The 2022 vintage in Quarts de Chaume is truly divine, showcasing the pinnacle of Loire Valley sweet wine production. Blessed with generous sunshine and ideal morning mists that encouraged noble rot, grapes reached extraordinary levels of concentration. The warm, dry summer—without excess—helped preserve the acidity crucial for balance. On the palate, the wines are supremely refined, revealing a broad aromatic spectrum of apricot, mango, roasted pineapple, and candied citrus zest. The mouthfeel is luscious yet vibrant, with a lively acidity that lifts the finish and keeps the sweetness in check. Compared to other Loire appellations producing off-dry or sweet wines—like Vouvray or Montlouis—Quarts de Chaume 2022 stands out with brilliance. A true benchmark vintage, rated 4.7/5.
