Think of the grower or vineyard manager, who throughout the year has to weigh up dozens of factors to judge how each vineyard plot is progressing. Or the winemaker, who has to work with the grapes and the vintage in the cellar, allowing them to become wine as naturally as possible. All of this, of course, only applies when we are talking about a <strong>terroir wine<\/strong>: a wine born of a single vineyard that reflects its season right to the end, a wine that is different every year because it cannot be standardised.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b55b395\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b55b395\">To taste a terroir wine and grasp its essence, then, it is essential to know not only the place it comes from but also how the vintage played out.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"4ed8ce7\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4ed8ce7\">Having covered the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/en\/bordeaux-vintages-recent-harvests-weather-trends\/\"><u><strong>Bordeaux vintages<\/strong><\/u><\/a>, we now turn to the <strong>Chablis vintages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52313f6 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div wt-n-figure \" data-id=\"52313f6\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"52313f6\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"52313f6\">\n    \t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"e-image-base e-default-img wt-n-img\" data-interaction-id=\"d4ad9a8\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"d4ad9a8\" id=\"2885\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1-1024x750.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1-1024x750.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1-300x220.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1-768x562.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1-600x439.png 600w, https:\/\/www.wineterroir.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/annate-di-chablis-analisi-delle-ultime-vendem-1.png 1448w\" alt=\"Mappa delle denominazioni di Chablis\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wt-n-caption e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b4228ad\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b4228ad\">Map of the Chablis appellations<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"da5dee6\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"da5dee6\">The impact of vintage in Chablis: climate, terroir and Crus<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"813cf6a\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"813cf6a\">This is all the more true when you set out to taste a <strong>terroir wine from Chablis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"4bb50e8\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4bb50e8\">The climate in <strong>Chablis<\/strong> is considered continental, with cold winters and springs (and a risk of spring frost).

The risk at this very delicate stage was night frost, and many measures were taken, such as lighting fires along the rows. The humidity helped avert the worst, and flowering went ahead smoothly, followed by fruit set.<br>The summer then turned out hot and notably dry, with only scattered rainfall in a few areas. These conditions highlighted the differences between soils in their ability to retain water.<br>The Chardonnay reached ripeness towards the end of August, about 15 days ahead of normal. The harvest officially began on 24 August and was not troubled by adverse weather.<br>A vintage defined by earliness, then, which yielded fruit well suited to producing classic Chablis, true to the character of each sub-zone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"2a396b1\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"2a396b1\"><strong>- The 2019 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"9c65300\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"9c65300\">A vintage that started by the book, then was thrown off course by fluctuating temperatures and a dry summer.<br>Winter began cold, as is usual, through January, before warming up around mid-February. Around April, with budburst under way, the cold returned and lingered into May, bringing several frosts that reduced yields and slowed the vines&#x27; growth.<br>Early summer then swung towards intense heat, with temperatures in some cases approaching 40\u00b0C. Rainfall was scarce, falling some 80% below the July average and causing water stress. These conditions favoured the Premier Crus on steeper slopes facing less directly south, where sun, heat and water reserves were able to balance one another out.<br>By the end of the harvest the result was small quantities of good quality, with small, highly concentrated berries. These traits nonetheless revealed great expressive power and aromatic concentration, producing remarkably balanced wines with promising ageing potential.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"0593f3b\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0593f3b\"><strong>- The 2018 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"01225de\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"01225de\"><em>A vintage that generally delivered results of outstanding quality, excellent across many sub-zones: one of the best of the last two decades.<\/em><br>The year began wet, with frequent, scattered rain throughout the winter. This rain helped build up good water reserves, which would prove useful in the second half of the year. After the wet start, the Chablis region enjoyed a very mild spring, allowing slightly early budburst and flowering, so the absence of spring frost was a stroke of luck.<br>The summer then proved hot and dry, with rainfall somewhat below average. This also helped keep disease at bay, allowing particularly healthy fruit to ripen. The harvest continued well into September. The favourable weather meant each plot could be picked at just the right degree of ripeness, with no need to rush.<br>The result is powerful yet elegant wines, broad and with distinctive organoleptic traits, showing tropical hints in the finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru plots, and suited to medium- to long-term ageing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"0a632f7\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"0a632f7\"><strong>- The 2017 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"4b69eee\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"4b69eee\">A cool vintage, both in terms of weather and of the resulting wines, with low yields.<br>A very harsh winter in December and January gave way to an unusually warm February and March. This warmth woke the vines very early, with one of the earliest budbursts of the last 20 years. In April, however, cold air currents brought a drastic drop in temperatures, and many sub-zones of Chablis (especially in the north) were hit by frost. The risk persisted until early May, when temperatures began to climb back towards average.<br>The summer then went smoothly, with mild and fairly humid conditions. The humidity raised fears of disease and rot, which in the event did not materialise. August ended without rain, and the harvest continued until mid-September in good weather.<br>Yields therefore turned out very low, but the fruit that did ripen proved of excellent quality: high in acidity yet with good sugar levels, and with a very high content of aromatic compounds.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"e103233\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"e103233\"><strong>- The 2016 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"bbd5256\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"bbd5256\">Without doubt one of the most difficult vintages, weather-wise, in many years.<br>Winter and early spring were mild and fairly damp. The problems came in April and May, with the vines already at budburst. At the end of April, frosts struck more than half of the vineyards across every part of Chablis. Growers took the usual precautions, lighting fires along the rows throughout the region. Further complications arrived in May, however, when the vines were battered by severe hailstorms that drastically reduced the number of shoots.<br>After the second half of June the summer offered some respite, at least proving hot and dry. Around mid-September, as ripening drew to a close, a fresh wave of humidity brought rot and fungal disease. The harvest therefore began in a hurry, to save the crop, amid a general sense of anxiety. After careful sorting, the fruit brought into the cellar nonetheless proved to be of good quality and focused on freshness, thanks above all to the hot summer, but quantities were severely affected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"a21e85c\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"a21e85c\"><strong>- The 2015 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"c5e5b28\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"c5e5b28\">A calm, steady vintage, disturbed only by a late hailstorm in early September.<br>Winter began mild and damp, ideal for marking the start of the vines&#x27; growing cycle. Spring was rainy, helping to build up good water reserves in all soils. Flowering began early, at the start of June, and from then on it was clear that this would be an early vintage.<br>June and July brought sunshine and a great deal of heat, with dry, drought-like conditions. Only at the beginning of August did some rain restore the water reserves, allowing the grapes to complete ripening.<br>Unfortunately, on 1 September a storm (which also passed through <em>Irancy<\/em>) brought heavy hail, falling mainly on the plots north-east of the town of Chablis. The Grand Crus Les Clos and Blanchot and the Premier Cru Mont\u00e9e de Tonnerre were particularly hard hit. The grapes, however, were already at ideal ripeness and the damage was very limited. The harvest went ahead without further incident.<br>The wines of this vintage stand out for their generous fruit, evoking sunshine and warmth. Acidity remained well balanced, especially in plots on the best-exposed slopes. Wines for medium-term ageing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"19394f4\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"19394f4\"><strong>- The 2014 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"5d1d5c3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"5d1d5c3\">A complicated, cool and rainy vintage, with a harvest stretching into October that held some surprises.<br>The year began with sunshine and warmth. The very warm spring brought very early flowering in several plots (especially on the right bank). The warmth was broken in mid-April by a few frosts, which did little damage. The summer caused more problems, taking on an almost autumnal character. Cloud, humidity, rain and cold winds lowered temperatures and markedly slowed ripening. These conditions created wide differences in the ripeness of the Chardonnay grapes from plot to plot, depending on aspect and altitude. The harvest followed the same pattern, beginning in September but continuing into October for those plots where the grapes&#x27; acidity fell more slowly.<br>Despite these difficulties, 2014 proved a quality vintage for Chablis, producing taut, linear wines, concentrated and firm in a way not seen for many years, and suited to ageing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"46826bd\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"46826bd\"><strong>- The 2013 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"7145e75\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"7145e75\">A cold vintage with an uncertain rhythm, and a late harvest of low volume and good freshness.<br>The start of the year brought rain right away, together with cold weather that delayed each stage of the vines&#x27; growing cycle. Budburst, which began in May, was marked by rain, and flowering came only towards the end of June. Flowering was also uneven within the vineyards, which caused considerable problems in managing the vines.<br>Late summer, kinder in terms of weather with sunshine and dry conditions, did not speed up ripening. The harvest therefore started very late; even in September the fruit was still well behind. In early October the bunches, already suffering from the irregularities of the season, also showed signs of rot and botrytis. Picking thus began in great haste at the start of October, with the aim of saving as much of the fruit as possible.<br>Despite the difficulties, the musts brought into the cellar developed high alcohol levels and notable acidity, pointing to raw material of high quality nonetheless. Yields were low.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"de1a071\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"de1a071\"><strong>- The 2012 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"cdae8b8\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"cdae8b8\">A vintage that got off to a doubtful start but ended with excellent results.<br>The early part of the year saw several weather-related setbacks, especially from budburst onwards. The difficulties began in April, when frosts struck the whole Chablis region. At the same time the humidity was slow to clear, raising fears of disease in the vines. The weather continued in the same vein into May, and flowering was uneven both in extent and in progress.<br>Surprisingly, however, the summer brought a complete change. In July the weather improved considerably, and the summer turned out very dry. Suddenly, the water reserves built up earlier became crucial. The dry conditions made ripening progress very slowly, favouring concentration and the retention of acidity throughout the summer. Finally, around the start of the harvest in September, a series of light showers gave ripening one last beneficial push.<br>The grapes reached the cellar in perfect health, with good sugar levels and high acidity. Yields were below average, but the quality of the musts was so high that 2012 has been compared with 2010. Wines for medium- to long-term ageing, with a classic Chablis touch: straight, firm-edged, aromatic and with great acidity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"644b65c\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"644b65c\"><strong>- The 2011 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"54819b7\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"54819b7\">A vintage of variable results, with interesting wines to drink young.<br>The season got off to an early start, with distinctly mild weather even during the winter. Spring continued warm, with no particular problems during budburst and flowering. Yields already looked more generous than in the previous vintage at this stage, and the warmth that followed reinforced that impression.<br>In June, the start of summer was so hot and dry that it even worried growers, with the harvest forecast to begin around a month early. From July onwards, however, rain and cooler air returned to slow ripening, and these conditions lasted throughout August. The excess rainfall caused some problems of sudden berry swelling, with some splitting due to excess water. Once again, vineyards on the hills and slopes fared better than those on the flatter land. The harvest, which began between late August and September, brought plentiful and mostly healthy fruit into the cellar, but heavily laden with water. The resulting wines are mostly light, fresh and light-bodied, with some exceptions from the best plots: on the whole, wines to drink young.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 data-interaction-id=\"d90bbdd\" class=\"wt-n-h e-heading-base e-default-h3\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"d90bbdd\"><strong>- The 2010 Chablis vintage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"b44a3ae\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"b44a3ae\"><em>One of the best vintages of the millennium for Chablis.<\/em><br>The year began with several particularly cold and rainy months. These conditions, which persisted through budburst and up to flowering, affected the development of the bunches. With yields already reduced by the spring, the turning point came in summer.<br>Towards the end of June the weather improved noticeably, followed by a sharp rise in temperatures in July. August and September continued mild, with rainfall slightly above normal, which helped the fruit to ripen well and retain its freshness.<br>The harvest began towards the end of September, with very low yields. The result, however, was extremely concentrated fruit, rich in sugars, phenolic compounds and acids. The timing of the harvest, together with the position of each individual vineyard plot, played a crucial role in determining ageing potential, which is high in any case.
