The 2022 vintage in Vouvray can undoubtedly be described as divine. After two challenging years marked by frost and disease, winemakers have enjoyed a welcome return to generous yields, thanks to abundant flowering and ideal weather conditions. The year was defined by intense heat and persistent drought, promoting exceptional grape ripeness while preserving the distinctive freshness of Chenin Blanc. Harvesting, carried out strategically from early September to mid-October, allowed for a diverse and complex aromatic profile, resulting in a full range of wines: dry, off-dry, sweet, and sparkling. Compared to other Loire appellations producing dry whites, Vouvray 2022 stands out for its balance of tension and roundness, all enhanced by an extraordinary aromatic purity. This vintage, rated 4.7/5, underscores Vouvray’s ability to shine even in the face of climatic challenges.
