2021 Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru 'Butteaux Vieilles Vignes' 750ml

Domaine Louis Michel et Fils cultivates 21 hectares of vineyards, including Premier and Grand Cru plots. As with true Chablis, the wine is unoaked and fermented in stainless steel to preserve fresh fruit purity. It ages on lees in the tank for 12 months, developing complex bready notes and a rounded texture. The result is a vibrant, lemony wine with floral aromas, green apple, and zesty citrus. The Michel family, winemakers since the 19th century, excels in crafting Chablis from their prestigious vineyards. Why do we like it? The Butteaux 1er Cru is located on the left bank of the Serein river, it's a Climat within Montmain with classic Kimmeridgian, silty clay soils. It is such a bottle with really intensity on the nose. Nervy and refined with a lovely wet stoniness, pure Chablis character. Finish has great balance and precision.
