Vintage Character The 2022 Chablis 'La Forêt' Premier Cru from Domaine Pinson Frères is a striking illustration of Premier Cru Chablis, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown on the renowned Kimmeridgian limestone slopes of La Forêt. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a warm, sunny growing season with limited rainfall, producing wines with notable ripeness, vivid fruit character, and impressive balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91–94 points by Jasper Morris (Source 1), this wine opens with an expressive bouquet of white peach, lemon zest, and crushed oyster shell, accented by subtle floral notes. On the palate, it delivers precision and energy, weaving together ripe orchard fruit, vibrant mineral tension, and a delicate saline nuance that is emblematic of La Forêt’s terroir. The finish is long and refreshing, making it a superb match for dishes such as seared scallops, grilled white asparagus, or a classic goat cheese tart.
