The 2022 vintage in Touraine is a divine meeting point between sunny ripeness and Loire freshness. A hot, dry summer—bordering on scorching—was counterbalanced by a rain-blessed spring, ensuring optimal grape development. Early harvests yielded concentrated fruit, and the resulting dry whites shine with vivid citrus and white fruit aromas, bright acidity, and balanced structure. The absence of spring frosts helped maintain yields near average—something neighboring regions weren’t always lucky with. On the palate, these wines offer both immediate charm and long-term potential. With a score of 4.7 out of 5, Touraine 2022 stands out as one of the Loire’s most impressive vintages in recent memory.
