Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre Louis Michel et Fils 2021

The wine

This Montée de Tonnerre premier cru is pale gold in colour; the nose tends towards very ripe fruit, yet without compromising on freshness, while in the mouth there is a sensation of ripe fruit, a beautifully well-integrated tension and a mouthwateringly iodine, mineral finish.

About the Producer Louis Michel et Fils

In the heart of Chablis, Domaine Louis Michel and Fils is one of the oldest domaines of the appellation. And, most importantly, one of the most consistent. In the family since 1850, it now has some 25 hectares of vines planted on hillsides. The key to its success is the abolition of barrel élevage. As a result, the domaine produces clear, clean, precise non-wooded wines. At the head of the domaine, Guillaume is convinced that the sustainable cultivation of his vines favours the expression of this exceptional terroir. As for his wines, he handle them as little as possible during the vinification and the élevage. This respect for the product and this long-term work are rewarded by obtaining wines to age for ten to twenty years.
