Show year-by-year notesHide
| Yr | Score | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | A brutal year of frost, hail, flooding and mildew. The little fruit that survived shows taut, bracing character but quantities are catastrophic. |
| 2023 | ★★★★★ | Drink early | A large, ripe, juicy crop with balance but softer acidity. Drink-now appeal rather than long-aging structure. |
| 2022 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Early harvest in a warm year delivered fresh, lively, juicy Chablis with structure for medium-to-long aging. |
| 2021 | ★★★★★ | Hold | April frost cut yields by half. A return to cool-climate, high-acid classicism with taut, mineral-driven wines built to age. |
| 2020 | ★★★★★ | Hold | An outstanding harvest with mouthwatering classical balance. Concentration and freshness combine for excellent long-term aging. |
| 2019 | ★★★★★ | Hold | Drought-shortened crop yielded concentrated, bright wines with retained acidity and good medium-to-long-term aging potential. |
| 2018 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Abundant, sunny year producing ample, ripe Chablis with exotic fruit and generous mid-palate. A more modern, fleshy style. |
| 2017 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Frost again reduced volumes, but surviving fruit produced bright, classical, mineral-clear Chablis with poise and freshness. |
| 2016 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Devastating spring frost cut yields by 55%. Remaining grapes produced light, fresh, classical Chablis but in very limited quantities. |
| 2015 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | A warm, dry summer yielded fruit-forward Chablis with softer-than-usual acidity. Rounded, mid-term wines without classic steely tension. |
| 2014 | ★★★★★ | At peak | A landmark Chablis vintage. Taut, mineral-driven wines with vibrant acidity and laser focus, built for long aging and now showing beautifully. |
| 2013 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | A cool, late-ripening vintage. Early pickers crafted fruity, rounded styles with charm rather than structure; best drunk in the near term. |
| 2012 | ★★★★★ | Drink now | Frost and hail slashed yields by half, but survivors produced concentrated, classical wines. Mineral balance is excellent; an underrated vintage. |
| 2011 | ★★★★★ | Past peak | A softer, frost-affected year with a cool, damp summer. Approachable and rounded but lacks structure for long aging; best drunk now. |

| 1999 | ★★★★★ | Past peak | A large, ripe crop; the best still drink well though many have peaked. |
