2016 Louis Michel Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos
Louis Michel
Located halfway up the hillside, in the heart of the vineyard, Louis Michel's 1.2-acre parcel is split into two: one half was planted in 1967 and the other half was replanted in 2000. Kimmeridgian soil of limestone pebbles encased in a clay texture, marl with oyster fossils. Relatively deep soil with plenty of limestone on a very steep slope. Vines with an average age of 40 years.

A single parcel in the mid slope facing southwest. This delivers an array of lemon and lime citrus with sweet perfumed fruits, apricots and sweet, fragrant melon. The palate’s very stony, minerally and savory. A salty feel to the finish. A super long and mineral finish that holds very fresh.

Aromas of lemon oil, mandarin, honeycomb, iodine and leesy reduction introduce the 2016 Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos, a full-bodied, multidimensional wine with excellent energy, concentration and chewy extract. It’s the deepest and most reserved of all the wines in the cellar, and it will demand a few years of bottle age.
