2010 Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux
Louis Michel
Four parcels of land, spread over the Butteaux slopes produce the grapes for this wine. Planted in 1970 and 1972, these are the furthest from the winery at a distance of 2km.
The terroir is Kimmeridgian left bank, featuring marl with oyster fossils. The topsoil has plenty of clay, limestone, and few pebbles.
100% Chardonnay from vines with an average age of 37 years.
The must undergoes a long fermentation using natural yeast in temperature-regulated tanks. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation. They are matured for a minimum of 12 months on fine lees, only in stainless steel tanks, with as little manipulation as possible.
The wine then undergoes a long stabilisation at moderated, low temperatures and bentonite-fined if necessary. One light filtration is performed before bottling at the winery.
