2017 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.

Honey, green apple, hay or bread dough, shells, fennel. It’s bright and juicy, good cut and tang through honey glossed texture, with crunch and orange tang on a pretty long finish. Lovely to drink, and so easy to enjoy.

The 2017 Chablis is exactly what it should be. Precise, lifted and wonderfully appealing, the 2017 is already super-delicious. Bright floral and citrus notes add to the wine's effortless, refined feel.
