2014 Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
Louis Michel
Located on the right bank of the river Serein - as with the grands crus - the Montée de Tonnerre is the most prestigious of all the Chablis premiers crus. The domaine grows fruit on a total of four hectares which were planted in 1974. The soil is Kimmeridgian from the right bank; it’s sticky and features marl with marine fossils, rich in limestone pebbles. Vines with an average age of 40 years.

Showing the purity that's typical of Guillaume Michel's style - oak is rarely if ever used - this superb wine comes from a single four-hectare parcel. Saline, yet showing the richness of the right bank with a stony bite and layers of flavour.

Screwcapped for your pleasure. Lovely. The year 2014 was very good in Chablis.
White flowers, mint and a sea breeze, clean and inviting, ripe citrus and stonefruits, and that typical crushed rock thing that Chablis often has. Medium bodied, flavoursome and gentle, cool acidity, subtle milkiness to the texture, as well as plenty of flint and crunch on a long fine finish. Ripe lemon in the aftertaste. Terrific. Ticks all the boxes.
