2015 Louis Michel Chablis
Louis Michel
These vines are situated in the heart of the historic vineyard. The varying soil dates back to the Kimmeridgian period, with relatively deep clay loam, containing marl and oyster fossils. Quite rich in limestone. 100% Chardonnay with an average vine age of more than 35 years.
The wines are vinified via a long fermentation using natural yeast, in temperature-regulated tanks, then undergo spontaneous malolactic fermentation. They are blended in tanks at the end of vinification before being left to mature on fine lees, only in stainless steel tanks, with as little manipulation as possible for at least six to eight months.

It’s Chablis all right, though a little more fruity and fleshy than some years. White stonefruit, almond, mint/aniseed, a little flintiness, but flavoursome and juicy with a silky almond gloss, punchy citrus acidity and subtle green tones throughout. Finish is modest, with a few stones scattered amongst the white peach. Lacks backbone, but it’s altogether pleasant to drink.
