2021 Louis Michel Chablis, Burgundy, France
This Chablis reveals white fruit notes such as peach, and has a persistent mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation which is so typical of Chablis makes this a round and pure wine.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Riper on the nose than the Petit Chablis, although still very citric and powered by lemons. Pear and perfumed floral fruit punctuated by white flower blossoms with some white licorice flavors. Offering bracing acidity, it finishes with a lemon drop candy flavor.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
This is the story of the Michel family, who has been making wines in the heart of Chablis since the 19th century. A firmly rooted sense of excellence is passed down from generation to generation. Louis Michel & Fils has always been a family business, and is managed today by Guillaume Michel, who takes great pride in perpetuating the Domaine’s ethos.
The family vineyard, whose vines are 45 years old on average, is located in the heart of the original Chablis terroir, on the most prestigious parcels within a radius of two kilometres from the winery.
The Domaine’s vineyards cover all four appellations: Chablis Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Chablis and Petit Chablis, offering the whole range of aromas that this unique wine can produce.The Domaine makes three prestigious Grand Crus – including the legendary Grenouilles – as well as seven Premier Crus.
As a pioneer and now a leader on the subject, Louis Michel & Fils made the bold decision to vinify its wines only in stainless steel tanks: this neutral material does not have any effect on the natural qualities of the Chardonnay grapes.This approach is certainly apparent in the Louis Michel & Fils style: our Chablis wines exude finesse, purity and freshness.
