The 2017 Chablis Forêts 1er Cru is powerful and explosive, with a captivating mélange of bright citrus fruit and stony mineral-inflected tones. Citrus peel, white flowers, crushed rocks and white pepper add aromatic explosiveness to this finely sculpted, chiseled Chablis from Louis Michel. In 2017, the Fôrets is a real stand out.

Aromas of Meyer lemon, mandarin, warm biscuits, beeswax and dried white flowers introduce the 2017 Chablis 1er Cru Forêts, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine with an enveloping attack, succulent acids and a pure, elegantly saline finish. This is a dramatic but controlled Forêts that's textural but precise.

The limestone here is a guiding influence with fresh lime and green-mango aromas, as well as wet, chalky stones. The palate has a very fresh and composed feel with supple, fleshy fruit and a nicely composed finish. Good depth here. Drink now.
