La Meuliere Petit Chablis 2022

Winemaking
Produced by Domaine de la Meulière, a family-run estate in Chablis since 1779, this Petit Chablis is grown on Portlandian limestone soils that deliver freshness and finesse. The 2022 vintage was marked by warm days and cool nights, preserving acidity while allowing full ripeness. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees for a few months, the wine showcases a pure, unadorned style true to the Chablis tradition – no oak, just clean, focused fruit and minerality.

Bouquet
The nose is fresh and inviting with lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, underscored by chalky minerality and a touch of sea breeze. A faint floral lift adds charm and delicacy.

Palate
Bright and linear, the palate is driven by citrus, crunchy green pear, and a distinct saline minerality. The texture is clean and refined, with a refreshing, stony finish that lingers with vibrancy. A benchmark Petit Chablis – crisp, precise, and effortlessly drinkable.

Food Pairing
Excellent with oysters, prawn cocktail, or a classic goat cheese salad. Also pairs beautifully with grilled white fish, sushi, or fresh asparagus drizzled with lemon butter.

Cellaring
At its best now through 2026 while its vibrancy and minerality are in full stride.

Interesting Fact
“Petit Chablis” refers not to quality but to geography – vineyards planted on higher elevations with different soils than the famed Kimmeridgian slopes. At La Meulière, even these “lesser” sites are farmed with the same care as their Premier Crus, making this a true hidden gem.
