Louis Michel Chablis 2023
- TASTING NOTE: "The quite strict 2023 Chablis Village offers Granny Smith and orange rind on the nose, with light mango scents emerging with aeration. The palate is taut and fresh with a slight creaminess in texture towards the finish. Drink over 4-5 years." Neil Martin, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: The grapes come from eight different areas, which are mainly located on the left bank of the Serein river, Pargues in the ForĂȘts valley, and Vaillons. They are blended with the parcel located just below the MontĂ©e de Tonnerre, to create this authentic Chablis. No added yeast, long fermentation using indigenous yeasts, in temperature-controlled vats. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Matured for 6 to 10 months. In stainless steel tanks, with the least possible handling. Long moderately cold stabilisation. Fining using bentonite if necessary. The wine is gently filtered once before bottling.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Today, Guillaume Michel presides over this important 22-hectare estate, which has long been the reference for tank-fermented and matured Chablis, a style that the Michel family did much to popularize in the 1980s. Intense and tensile wines are the calling card here, pure and unadorned by style and consistently high in quality. Indeed, I sometimes think that Louis Michel is the most underrated of Chablis's great domaines. Certainly, prices remain very reasonable. As usual, certain cuvĂ©es stand outâat the premier cru level, the old vine Butteaux, the Fourchaume (from Vaulorent) and the SĂ©chet, MontĂ©e de Tonnerre having taken a beating in recent vintagesâbut the overall standard, even for the lower appellations, is regular and high. They come warmly recommended, and their 2018 collection shows plenty of promise. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
