2022 Chablis, Thomas Labille

Pale gold with a glint of silver, this Chablis is a masterclass in precision and poise. The nose opens with crisp green apple, lemon zest and chalky minerality, accented by a touch of white blossom and almond. On the palate, it’s taut, elegant and beautifully balanced with citrus and orchard fruit meeting cool stone and a whisper of salinity. The texture is fine and silky, the finish long and luminous. A wine that feels both effortless and exact, like a line drawn in perfect clarity.

For when: the table’s simple, the mood’s calm, and the moment feels just right.
Pairs with: oysters, lemon sole, or a creamy goat’s cheese tart.
If this wine were a feeling, it’d be the quiet satisfaction of getting everything just right.

Based in Fleys, in the heart of Chablis, Thomas Labille is part of a new generation of Burgundian winemakers redefining the region through precision and respect for terroir. His vineyards, rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone and marl, are sustainably farmed to highlight the purity and minerality that define true Chablis. Fermentation and ageing take place primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with a touch of lees ageing for texture and depth. The 2022 vintage reflects Labille’s hallmark style - bright, chiselled and beautifully composed, a Chablis that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.
