2020 Domaine Louis Michel et Fils Chablis

Winemaker Notes: This Chablis reveals white fruit notes such as peach, and has a persistent mineral structure. In the mouth, a stony sensation which is so typical of Chablis, makes this a round and pure wine. 

The Michel family has been cultivating their passion for tradition and the Chablis terroir since 1850. In the mid-20th century, the family stopped making wine in wooden barrels in favor of stainless steel tanks to create clean, pure, and precise Chablis without adding artificial woody flavors. Through this philosophy, combined with limited yields inspired by organic wine-growing techniques, the Domaine has developed a worldwide reputation for fine winemaking in stainless steel tanks. A firmly-rooted sense of excellence is passed down from generation to generation. Louis Michel & Fils has always been a family business and is managed today by Guillaume Gicqueau-Michel.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "There is more obvious Chablis typicity to the fresh aromas of green fruit, apple and lemon rind scents. Here too the mouthfeel of the medium weight flavors is both plump but vibrant while displaying good persistence on the moderately dry and more complex finale.
Barrel Sample: 88-91."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Bottled under Diam, the 2020 Chablis Village exhibits aromas of white flowers, peach, freshly baked bread and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, ample and charming, it's a fleshy, lively wine that concludes with a saline finish."
