Chablis Côte de Léchet Premier Cru 2022

The 2022 Chablis Côte de Léchet Premier Cru from Philippe Charlopin exemplifies the mineral intensity of this steep, east-facing premier cru site.

The nose is precise and focused, offering bright citrus notes - particularly lemon and lime - complemented by pronounced chalky minerality and subtle white flower notes characteristic of Côte de Léchet. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural freshness of this well-exposed site.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive tension and energy, with vibrant acidity balancing the ripe fruit core. The texture is crystalline and focused, with the steep limestone slopes contributing pronounced mineral precision. The warmth of 2022 brings welcome fruit concentration while maintaining the site's characteristic raciness. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of citrus and distinctive saline mineral notes that continue to unfold.

This wine brilliantly captures both the chiseled nature of Côte de Léchet and Charlopin's ability to express premier cru Chablis terroir with clarity and precision.
